    Hi All

    The gearbox on my 1.8t (AGU) is clunking like the mounts are shot or the dogbone mount is missing - they aren't, all mounts are brand new (vibratechnics) and the dogbone has new powerflex rear bush/superpro front bush so there is no movement. DMF replaced with HotGolf lightened/balanced SMF and Sachs VR6 clutch kit.Also replaced driveshafts for new items through process of elimination.

    I have a spare (EVS) but there is some play/clunking when turning either output flange by hand. Is this indication of poor health in both gearboxes? I want to be sure before I pull the one from the car only to have the same problem with the other. It's driving me nuts![:x]
