I have an 87 ST162 SX with a 3SGE and i now have an ST gearbox it was ok for a while and just a few days ago it started shuddering a bit and a few nocking noises when shifting, i checked the oil and its fine.. and i got the CV joints changed (needed to) and it still does it... sorta the same symptoms of the old gearbox which had a fucked diff. Engine mount (firewall side) was apparently a bit buggered, but they said because its in a casing it cant move around so they said that wouldn't be causing it. i jacked the car up and put it in first gear and moved one wheel while having mum hold the other wheel, and there was play in it. which would indicate the diff AGAIN right?
Please help me out with any info guys...
The mounts are still a possibility and i need to do all front end bushes... but i dont think they would be maknig such a large noise...
