excess engine movement on dci - ideas?

[Martin_172]

Loads of engine movement on and off the throttle, all engine mounts are brand new genuine. Still doing it!

Ideas? Play in a driveshaft?

Gearstick is proper rocking back and forward!

You sure the bushes are ok? I couldn't see the engine moving much if all the bushes were brand new?

Yep brand new genuine renault bought and fitted by me. Im stumped!

Drive shaft will not caulse that unless proper fucked. Very odd that's it's still that bad after chainging the mounts....
mine has abit of throw in it , on and off the throttle.

Fourth mount mod made mine perfect. Still a little swing but far less than standard.
Only other thing I can think of ; is the gearstick assembly all nice and secure on the chassis ?

I was planning on 4th mounting it anyway as ive got one spare but would rather cure the problem first as they didnt do it when new lol! Ive been over everything again and its all secure and tight, no idea whats causing it!!! It drives mint other than that so not too fussed about it, just my mrs has bother driving it!

Assuming the dogbone bolt into the gearbox is secure (check it!), and the dogbone to subframe bolt is tight, then I'd suggest fitting a sport dogbone (stiffer than standard).

Other than that, can't think of much.

Sports dogbone was what i put on it, its definately tight, i am so stumped by it all i can think of is a manufacturing issue with a mount but they all looked fine on inspection. Im gonna strip them all off for a further look on thursday!

Where did you get the sport mount from?

 

[Martin_172]

Don't Vibratechnics offer one?

I think he likes his original teeth, so a vibratechnics on a DCI wouldn't be a great option.
