Help, something loose in engine compartment.

ProDarwin · 06-08-2003, 06:24 PM

Ever since I installed my manual tranny, I have noticed something was loose in the engine compartment, possibly the engine itself, and it causes excessive wheel hop. Well, I replaced the transmission mount, and that helped some, and just replaced the 2 lower dogbones, and the upper mount is only a few months old. What could be causing this engine rock / some sort of clunk at launch, which resullts in lots of wheel hop?

just to check, you got the upper mount and the lower dogbone on the engine, and the upper dogbone and the lower square mount on the trans?yes? and from personal experiance, if you had any buddies helping,they weren't on the "no fear the beer" method of helping were they. I mean everythings tight?
