Hey guys, I just replaced my forward transaxle mounts and now have quite a lot of prop vibration at idle. It doesn't seem any different through the rest of the rev range.
When I put everything back together, it seemed like the rear guibo was 'stretching' a tiny bit rearwards, like as if the transaxle was sitting a couple of mm further back than before, not twisted ir mis aligned, just pulling backwards. I've not touched the rear trans mount, so I wouldnt have thought it would be able to move like that and the new mounts are exactly the same as the old.
It all went back together fine as well, no probs lining up the bolts for the crossmember, which you can see has seated back exactly where it was before.
Maybe it's just that the new mounts are transmitting that much more vibration to the floor ( the old mounts were TOAST .. the side opposite the shift mechanism was in 2 parts
)
Also, I know my rear motor mount to be good so the whole thing should be in good shape
Any thoughts would be appreciated
