Getting a lot of vibration on acceleration. Video shows me engaging gear and then depressing clutch and repeating with no acceleration. 

 

Is this a normal amount of movement?

Fetch a priest ASAP.

To my untrained eye this doesn't look normal for the engine to move that much.

Lol... I thought it looked a bit sinister. 

 

Anyone know if any of the mounts are easily replaceable using a jack in case I luck out and it's that one? 

 

Otherwise might be a garage visit...

Christ I just spat my coffee out!

First place I would look as the dog bone mount under the engine.

Here is a photo of the bush. There's clearly play and I think evidence of cracks.

 

I don't have a press for the dog bone and they are like £120 to buy. Anyone know time allocated to the job if getting one fitted? 

 

I sadly have to weigh up costs...  I guess I could remove subframe and ask if a garage could press one in if mental money?  

Hard to say if excessive because it's not something that we would normally see when driving, the cable gear linkage ensures that the movement is not transferred to the gear lever, I remember when most engines had double that movement just idling at tickover and where on taking up the drive on a MK1 Mini the long gearlever would hit the dashboard or on later versions with the solid remote it would be hammering its way up through the floorpan!

 

Bush does look worn and is likely to be responsable for the vibration.

Agree with JR, looks gone to me, but I would put a big bar on the dog bone / engine and move it to see how open those cracks get. 
 

Either way, I would replace it. Reckon a decent Indy would only change for an hour, maybe. I did it in less than an hour in a proper workshop.

Obviously knackered...

 

Thanks for info on time and thus cost 

 

Guess it's extremely low revs until a garage can fit me in...  

 

 

 

I guess you can cancel the Priest and send in the mechanic now, nice find by those that helped you. 🤝

Yup, it’s a gonner 😞 

 

Personally, I wouldn’t drive it other than to the garage. When mine went, I really had to rev it to get the car to move just a bit, which may or may not have caused unnecessary damage or wear to the transmission had I forced the issue. I called a truck in the end rather than risk it.

Advice taken...

 

However I am thinking of stuffing the mount with rubber or filling with PU91 to lessen movement so I can drive it to the nearest garage with less risk...
