T5 box sitting too high after Vibra technics
I've recently fitted my Vibra technics gearbox mount to my 2wd saph, however it looks like the box is sat too high up as the 4 bolts at the gearstick side are touching the chassis ...
Can't really see how i've fitted it wrong as there wasn't much in the kit.
Has anyone fitted one of these before?

Ok here is a few pics, I noticed that the bolts for the box fouled the mount.
Both sides and it didn't pull up right so filed it for clearance. Then the mount actually touched the cradle so had to clearance that as well.
Again both sides.
No wonder people moan about vibration if they are all like this. Ps t5 in a 3door.

I bought directly brand new via a supplier and had a part missing to which they sent me one out asap, however thought the kit looks good, just strange having the gearbox sitting higher

I got mine cheap so decided to see for myself if they were bad and with Ade's little pointer i could clearly see where the vibration issues come from and modded mine the same and guess what nothing at all and feels really solid - my box doesn't sit any higher can't even think where you'd go wrong it's that simple

That's pretty poor if they need that kind of attention to make them fit. Really deserve to be sent back, but I guess most people will just carry on and make it fit rather than have an extra week of the car in bits...

Very interesting post this....
Ive got god awful vibrations on mine and I dont think the box sits right either. Havent yet got underneath mine yet to check the mount and if its a modded one.... but im willing to bet its just like the above
