Is the vibration in every gear ?, sounds more like the gearbox to me, good/new mounts will keep it to a minimum though.

How big is the gap between the arm and mount meant to be mate? I can get my key all the way round, The nut on top has only gone down to allow about 4 threads sticking through the top?
To be honest my gearbox is questionable, it really whines in every gear appart from 4th, it functions great mind, goes into gear real smooth even reverse! but the noise it makes sounds like a straight cut box?? the gearstick itself doesnt vibrate at all though when driving, i just feel it through the floors/shell of the car under harsh revs. Its definately not normal cause its quite loud too, you cant hear yourself think!
Its that bad its stopping me accelerating too much because it just feels all worng!! Got passed by a golf Diesel yesterday and the lad driving it loved every minute, i wasnt going to risk my pride and joy though the way it is!
Could the box be the issue??
