Gearbox Mount!!!

[Lanky_182]

Im pretty sure that the gearbox mount on ma 182 has gone so im looking for another one. I was on here the other day and went on a link to another websote which went on about a uprated one.

Does anybody know where i can get an uprated one from?

 

[the_prophet]

which one? the lower one - dogbone? if so somewhere like kam racing or ktec will have them

Im not sur eyet cos not had a chance to have a look. Just when driving along the gear stick seems to vibrate quite alot and when coming off the accelerator the gear stick seems to move excessively.

How much are they both?

yep sounds like the dogbone to me, i finally got mine swapped last week after having the powerflex bush for about a year and i didnt realise how dead my old one must have been. huge difference, gear lever no longer wobbles when accelerating either.....

Is it something i can replace myself? Just asking as on k-techs website it says that the old one needs to be pressed out so will i need a press? If not does anybody know how much it would cost to get it replaced.

You should be able to replace the bushing yourselves, with the add of a vise.

But err. you sure? Gearstick wobble... Exhaust banging... sounds familiar to you?

had to use a jigsaw, big hammer etc to get mine out as i didnt have a vice.

Removing the old mounts out the dogbone mount can be a pain in the arse, I had to cut mine out, that's probably the most difficult thing to do. I got my uprated mounts from LarkSpeed on Ebay. Be prepared for extra cabin rattle when you do uprate them though.

Are they better than these uprated ones from k-tech?

There loads better than polly ones, you don't get any movement or knocking at all,

So with these do i have to replace the hole dogbone mount instead of just the bushes? Is it hard to replace the hole dogbone or is it easier to do just the bushes?

 

[Jonff]

You just replace the bushes and use the existing dogbone mount.

With the ones I can get you replace everything, I'll get some pics up tomorrow, I have one on mine and there great

Yeah if u can get some pics that would be great
Think i'll end up getting one of these.
Where can ya get them from?

 

[the_prophet]

if its a solid one, there a bit ott for road use imo. put too much stress on the other engine mounts aswell.

 

[markblack172]

You do get more vibration but don't get any bangin from the exhaust any more
