Gear box upper mounting - Welshy_Pete - 04-09-2013 I looked at the engine mountings and could see the gear box upper one moving a bit. So I've changed that now and there very little movement now. But one thing I've noticed apart from the knocking gone. The car handles differently has anybody else found that? I just noticed the last 2 days its made a big difference. RE: Gear box upper mounting - Niall - 04-09-2013 depending on the condition of the mounts, it can make a difference. i had a chronically f*cked top engine mount and box mount in my old 106 and before i replaced them, if i went hard into a corner, i could feel the engine moving over! RE: Gear box upper mounting - Danny2009 - 04-09-2013 Suppose I better get round to fitting my new engome mounts RE: Gear box upper mounting - Toms306 - 04-09-2013 (04-09-2013, 06:55 PM)Niall Wrote: depending on the condition of the mounts, it can make a difference. i had a chronically f*cked top engine mount and box mount in my old 106 and before i replaced them, if i went hard into a corner, i could feel the engine moving over! This is how the Vectra feels under hard braking or putting the clutch in/out at low speed, feel the whole engine move forward and backwards lol. Doesn't move side to side though so doesn't affect cornering which is good. RE: Gear box upper mounting - Piggy - 04-09-2013 can be a bit of just feeling better. Whenever you give your car some tlc, it inspires the feeling of "good" RE: Gear box upper mounting - Welshy_Pete - 04-09-2013 (04-09-2013, 05:57 PM)Welshy_Pete Wrote: I looked at the engine mountings and could see the gear box upper one moving a bit. So I've changed that now and there very little movement now. The car used to feel loose on the steering and around corners a bit. Now the steering firmer and going around corners more firm. Also with out the engine moving about there no movement and knock. The mount was moving a lot now its very little at all. RE: Gear box upper mounting - titch - 04-09-2013 How easy was the gearbox mount to replace? I have just done my lower one and the drivers side one RE: Gear box upper mounting - Toms306 - 04-09-2013 The gearbox mount is the easiest one lol! Just remove the battery tray, support the gearbox and its literally 3 nuts to change it. RE: Gear box upper mounting - titch - 04-09-2013 Nice one, will do it at the weekend then. I know some of the 306's have a battery box. Mine doesn't i have had a quick look but couldn't really tell can you remove the battery and tray and leave the ecu in place as i have a strut brace fitted and if the ecu is connected to the battery tray i think i might have to remove the strut brace first. Titch RE: Gear box upper mounting - Toms306 - 05-09-2013 I guess you have a HDi then...the battery tray is separate from the ecu bracket. . There are dome wires cable tied to the tray I think but nothing properly attached, you won't have to remove the ecu or brace. RE: Gear box upper mounting - titch - 05-09-2013 yeah Hdi Thanks, just picked yhe new mount up, so will have a crack at it on the weekend Titch |
