Engine / Gearbox mount problem?

[duffy78]

Hi all,

Was wondering if anybody here can answer a query i have regarding my car. When in gear, say second, and I push on the accelerator the gear knob jumps very slightly forward. Upon taking my foot off the gas it goes back.

Is this normal? Is it a sign of worn gearbox mounts?

Some movement is inevitable, but there shouldn't be much.

Have a read here:

I had a similar issue like yours with my rs4, i since fitted 034 motorsport engine/gearbox mounts which have made a big difference and i am also changing the gear shifter linkage which will again tighten and shorten the throw and eradicate the slight play.

Drop me a pm if you want any pointers.

I'd be interested to see the links to those Eddie.

This is the link to the mounts - Transmission Mount, Density Line, Manual Transmission B6/B7 Audi A4/S4/RS4 - 034 MOTORSPORT

The JHM shifters are also on their site so its worth having a good look

thanks.

when i say jump i may have been over exagerating slightly. It moves maybe 1cm if i dont have my hand on it, if i have my hand on it i can feel it try and move.

I may just monitor the situation if its not something to be overly worried about.
