    GQ TD42 manual gearbox vibration

    Hey guys, if I sit facing downhill, put the car in neutral and sit it on the handbrake, it will make a horrible vibration sound. When the car is running of course.
    It's done it since I've had the car but it seems to have gotten a bit worse lately. It will sometimes do it quickly when I am braking and the car leans forward a little.
    I. Know the TD42 will always have some groaning going on but it's not this.
    Any ideas? I'm taking the car to the mechanic tomorrow and he's gonna drop the oil and inspect it but I just wanna have some info if I can.

    Does it happen if you're in gear with the clutch in?
    Does it happen if you use the foot brake instead of the hand brake?
    It's not your exhaust still?

    If it happens to be a broken engine mount, it isn't the end of the world ... it can be fixed
