just been for a blast in the cossie and ive noticed when im in 4th gear doing about 70ish if i lift off the accelator and just coast for a bit theres a really bad vibration and loud noice cant hear the radio above it sounds like gearbox area to me as my gear stick was shaking all over aswel?

so how do i check if its that ?

-==chunk==-

I put it on a 2 post ramp but you could jack it up and see if there is any play on the drive shaft or front prop I have got a drive shaft and a front prop if you need one

ok mate ill try check tommorow havent a clue what im doing like lol how much are they pal?

-==chunk==-

Just see what you need first and sort it from there am only in cramlington so pretty close all you need to do is push the drive shaft up and down and see if there is any play or noise do the same with the propshaft

Need it on a ramp really mate and see if it's err split I guess lol. Spin the rear wheels to make the prop go round to check it throughout 360'. If yours is shaped like a 50p with 6 bolt holes I have a brand new one here you can have if its fooked
