[CH33MA]

Think my engine or gearbox maybe going as im gettin a banging noise everytime i change gear, and the geartsick moves around alot while driving. Can anyone tell me wheather im looking at the right area, and if anything looks wrong. Have included some pictures of the drivers side visiable mount, at least i think it is.
(sorry if pics are a bit big)

Nope its your dogbone mount causing the problems. Its under the car attaching the gearbox to the firwall of the car. (I'll get a picture in a second)

£35 or so for one from Renault

Thats top mounts fine the 172 /182 one is different.

So Edde, if i buy a new dogbone mount, i get the actually mount and the new rubbers, or do i have to buy them individually?

Thanks for your help.

Mount comes with new rubbers pressed into them./
You can just buy new rubbers if you want but for the cost and effort its not worth it.

From what you've said yes it does need replacing.

Cannot realy tell you need to remove it and see if the rubbers cracked.
