Gearbox mount, series 3

[Jag 1979]

Hello all, my Daimler has a bad clonk coming from under the car.
It sounds and feels as if its coming from the the gearbox mount?
What type of mount do they have please?
And how hard of a job is it?

Its four bolts under the car to remove the gearbox mount, be sure to use a transmission jack to take up the weight and support it when you do the repair.
parts to change are the central spring and the bush, here a photo of mine

Thank you for the information and the photo.

I would imagine that the XJ6 has the same mounting?

The bush is probably CAC3227. Not sure about the spring as I think they might differ between 4.2 and 5.3. I just changed the bush (on my manual car) and did it with the car on ramps using an axle stand to support the box and a trolley jack to take the strain while I undid the bolts. I also needed the trolley jack to compress the spring enough to get the bolts back in. Easy job if you don't mind getting under the car.

Thanks Chris for your reply.

I see that your in Kent, that's my old neck in the woods. (Deal)

I need to get it done as soon as, as the clonk is driving me insane

Thanks again Chris.
