New owner, couple of issues

[Deany]

Afternoon.

New to the RS scene as I've been in Saxo's for the past 5 years need some advice.

Gave it a bit of right boot on the way home from work and it jumped out of gear in first and there is quite a loud/fast knocking noise at high revs (above 5k) Anyone have an idea what it could be?

Worn out engine/gearbox/dogbone mount.

forgive me for being a noob, but easy enough to change on 172s?

Mounts are easy to change. Most likly its the dogbone one is worn. Dogbone is very quick to change. IMo don't go for an "uprated" or harder one stock are much better for most people unless its a race car. and can accept the issues of a harder bushes.

Cool. I'll get one ordered tomorrow then. Thanks for the info

Got bored of waiting for tomorrow so got powerflex bushes ordered. Had powerflex lower on my saxo and it made a huge difference.
