    engine mount causing transmission problems?

    Just wandering something about the front engine mount, looks stuffed to me and was wandering if this could cause the gearbox to be rather noisy, i ask this because the noise changes depending on load and the road surface, for example, if im cruising on a fairly flat smooth road, its almost quiet, but if i put my foot down or engine break, it get noisy. if im on a bumpy road, the noise will come and go depending on the bump, thats what makes me think it could be mount related, also some mechanic a mate knows reckons it could, but im not convinced.

    I have been told by a VR4 owner that his gearchanges significantly improved after fitting poly engine mounts. So there must be something in the advice you have been given.

    ok, gear changes are fine, i got a mount a couple days ago, just need some good weather to put it in, looks like it might be a pain thogh, might invest in some poly mounts in the future though
