Been offline here for a while due to my mx being also offline..
Just had the MX6 gearbox swap done by my local mechanic- not happy! The box itself is fine but I naturally replaced the clutch and outer cv's and boots. It now drives like a dog and judders from take off and there is a knock each time I change gear. I've had it back to him but he says he cannot find anything wrong with it and is trying to blame the new clutch....I suggested the mountings but he says they seem fine. I've jacked it up myself and the hubs themselves have no play in them as far as I can tell.
I did this swap to lower final drive but stupidly shouldve had the box split and just taken 5th out and had it put im my mx3 box as it's a good deal slower off the mark.. oh well live and learn.
Also when I reverse left or right the wheels kick back/skip/drag... like the alignment is screwed but it drives fine and straight in forward. Oh, and at speed if I turn through a left bend there is noise like what I used to have in my old rwd holden- like diff noise...
I have looked at the way the box is in and can some one tell me if the top front mounting point is different on the MX6 versus the MX3 as there is clean open thread on the left of the mount like there should be something there.. erm like a mount.. if you get me.
Anyways hope someone can give me a few tips as I'm not takin it back to him- I think hes actually a tractor mechanic in disguise!!
PS:
Some one a while back was askin me for UK spec glass lights- sorry I didnt get back to you but I was in Oz at the time so whoever it was drop me a line on here and I'll sort you out what i can.
