You would notice it most when going off power to accelerating again and during changes
Thanks. I've never driven it other than a very short distance on the driveway as it's not been on the road since 1996. Moving through the gears when it's stationary, it often doesn't want to go into gear but I'm guessing that is more likely to be due to lack of use, hopefully things will ease up once it's been driven a bit.

Can the gearbox mount be changed without removing the subframe, i.e. just removing the one bolt that goes through the subframe and gearbox mount? Or does the tightening sequence mean you have to remove and replace all the bolts again?

Cheers
