So after the fancy diagnosing session, which cost $77, the issue has been somewhat narrowed down.
The mechanic recommended I get my engine mounts replaced as they are in need of it, as he said it seems to be the plating either side of the rubber (where the plates are bent to hook into each other) as there is basically no clearance here due to the rubber having collapsed a lot.
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
Evo
