Is my gearbox mount bobbin broken?
My gear lever has a disconcerting waggle when I use the clutch and I suspect the mount on the left has ripped, but I'm not convinced that that isn't a mould line. It looks a bit different to the one on the right. Do you think it's gone? Getting it out is going to be a swine so I'd like to be sure before I start inventing new swear words.
Regards,
Dave
It does look like a mould line to me.
The one on the right looks more iffy ?
If they have become detached inside I think using a large screwdriver to gently push the rubbers form side to side may show up any defects ??

Well, neither of them are torn, but they are very soft and spongy. I very easily jacked the box up about 10-15mm and then had a poke. I could push my finger into them 3-4mm without excessive force, and they had a feeling more like closed cell foam than rubber. Time to hit ebay for a new pair.
