more part$ we have to replace when we rebuild them...

I used a bungee cork to maintain 4th gear in my Squareback.  Worked for a
few months.

|You are gonna want to check the motor mounts. If the front
|transmission mount is worn, and moving with the torque, it can

|mount. It worked for the short term.
