Firstly when someone said it's a little tricky to change the two bushes situated underneath the gear know are they mad....

 

Tried it on the weekend,and got everything out apart from the last nut and bolt on the very underneath of the gear stick it was impossible i in fact gave up......

 

I also don't think it's that that is causing the wobble.

 

It could be the whole plate with the large rubber mount in the middle,the one where the bolt comes out of that might just be old as it doesn't seem to hold rigid enough.

 

Either that or i need to replace any gear box mounts.......

 

Also i was speaking with Vijay about idling and he suggested cleaning it out with some sort of carb cleaner,he suggested it may chuck out smoke but when cleaned should idle better,anyone tried this????

I changed those small bushes and I found it really easy:confused: :confused: I think using a stubby spanner helped though.

Yep, me :D :D Seriously though I'm sure it was Mr Duffman who first suggested it.

 

Vijay

You must have hands of a baby i found it real awkward and scratched my knuckles to shit.

 

I need to get a smaller spanner of a small child to help me.

 

What were you saying about cleaning the idling out can you explain in a bit more detail,i need to do it just so i know it's done,and if i need then to re-set the idling......?

 

Cheers Vijay

It's this pipe and you spray carb clean down the pipe going towards the back of the engine :)

Cheers Vijay so do i disconnect the pipe somewhere and how much carb clean do i use?

 

Sorry just don't want to do anything daft.......

there's a clip on each end of the hose, remove them and pull off the pipe and then start squirting, leave it for a minute then repeat, do that a few times then put the hose back on :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a problem changing the bushes. I did it in the end.

 

It will definatley be the bushes that are causing the wobble when the car is in gear mate.

 

Check my site on tips of chaning them http://www.300zx-mods.co.uk/Transmission.htm

Nice one stuart i looked at your sit in the first place....

 

How the buggery *****cks did you manage to get a spanner round both sides?????

 

I could get one round the right but every time i tried to undo it i slipped and pulled a layer of skin of my knuckles??????

 

Only thing i could do is get to very short 12m spanners...

 

Cheers for the tip Vijay i'll try it this weekend!
