Rock and Roll!

[Robert Eames]

My engine seems to have a bit too much movement when letting the clutch out which can be felt in the gear lever. I am not saying it is rocking like a drunk on a North Sea ferry, however something is not right.

I am not sure whether to change the rear torque arm at the back of the engine or one of the engine mounts?
Has anyone changed the torque arm before, it looks like its just two bolts?

Rear engine mount

Should be 3 bolts.

You can access it easily from underneath.

Or on a jack, remove the drivers wheel (maybe the mud shield) and get about 3 extension bars on a ratchet to reach each bolt.

I had the same problem a couple times!

K12 section, sorry!

i repaired a clio dogbone mount very similar to that setup robert, and it made a hell of a difference
