Gear box mountings Volvo 140 (M40)

Vibrations in the floor and a jolt when engaging a gear often come down to a hardened or cracked gearbox mounting pad – the rubber collapses over the years and lets the gearbox wander. On the 140/164 with the M40 and column shift, the shift mechanism is also mounted up by the steering column, so play in a worn ball joint adds a vague shifting feel on top of the mounting itself.
