If there is still an issue, he recommends clutch next, and has told me that rest of driveline is good.
After hearing all this, I'm still not sure whether to believe what I'm told, but engine mounts are a cheap start, so fingers crossed.
And I'll need a clutch later anyhow, I have known this since last year, but the longer I can put it off, the better.
Plus I'll get onto the auto-manual hub conversion over the weekend hopefully.
With the locking hubs, I was going to use some medium strength loctite on the cap head bolts. Is this ok or what do you guys recommend?
Cheers
