gear stick wobble on acceleration and decelleration

aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh how do i stop this its doing my head in

Most likely have to replace the rear dogbone mount. About £15 from a motor factors and easy to fit.

 

[richardfirefighter]

will that come with the bushes too??

 

[donsrno1]

what bushes??? When you say the gearstick wobbles how far does it move?

i assume he means the bushes for the dogbone mount

 

[richardfirefighter]

yeah i have been told to get the dog bone and put it n instead of the original 1.2 16v mount

 

[donsrno1]

ah, it's a 1.2 16v you have. I had pressumed you had a Mk1 1.8 16v going by your profile. I'm not sure about Mk2's tbh so I'll let someone else help you out on this one.

the 1.2 16v always suffers from thsi rather badly !!

Not found a cure for it tho....

no bushes as such, just a dogbone shaped forged metal link, with rubber i suppose what u mite call "bushes" on each end, just bold it on.

Also check the link from the dogbone to the gearbox, usually a blue metal shape, that bolts on with two big bolts onto the box, make sure that is blodey tight and not loose, the bolts on my RT were slightly loose, and as the holes on the box are a mm too big, it generates quite a lot of movement.

Why is there a 1.2 16v mount on ur valver?
and i think i'm right in saying all clio gear sticks move a little bit... so u wont get rid of it completely.

i was told to use a 172 dogbone mount on my 1.2 16v, they fit and not sure if its uprated or not?
