Hi, is there a spacer that goes on the stud through the gearbox mount ive just taken mine off and there is no spacer, & should the spacer be a tight fit in the mount. Thanks

Not sure what you mean about a spacer, the gearbox mount isn't a tight fit on that stud, even when new.

Check it's not stuck in the mount?

There is a washer UNDER the stud, where it fits into the gearbox. There is a small washer with a flat on it which sits on top of the mount before the top nut goes on.

Yes there should be a spacer, couiple inches long bit of steel tube, likely stuck in the mount...it should be a snug fit inside the rubber part of the mount

Orly?? None of mine have been a snug fit, that explains why none of the mounts have been stiff enough for me... Confused

If you cut it down a tad and tighten it tight you can make them stiffer, redneck modding lol.
