Squeak on Acceleration - Gearbox mount?
Howdy folks, been driving around with an irritating squeak for ages now, I've always suspected the engine mounts but they all look pretty solid. I can give the engine a good shove to replicate the squeak but there is very little movement.
Whilst squirming around under the car this morning I noticed the rear gearbox mount looks fairly knackered. Do you think it could be the problem?
I've searched around and they seem pretty cheap, is it an easy job? Just yank out the old one and put in the new one or will I need to adjust anything else? :dontknow:
