gearbox mounts symptoms

[N4TH4N]

Hi all.

is anyone aware of what symptoms are noticeable when the gearbox mounts need replacing.

Thanks

A loud clunking when letting the throttle on and off, even at slow speeds,
it's usually the dog bone that's the problem, but doing all three at once is usually best.

Thankyou.mate
. Do they usually creak at all when accelerating

Could do they're rubber after all, but usually if they're gone the whole engine and box moves and causes the manifold to clunk into it's heatshield,
plus your throttle response won't be as sharp because of all the movement.

Also if you start chasing squeaks and rattles in a Mk2 Clio you'll be doing it until the day you die.
