Worn transmission mount

Hi folks,

I have a 1988 3.2 Carrera (G50) with little mileage (32k).
Since I got it, I switched to Wevo shifter & PSJ, and installed the Wevo engine mounts.

Now, I have noticed that when changing gears at high RPM, the gearbox “pops out”.

Could this be caused by worn transmission mounts? See below a picture of the mount - they are not cracked, but there is a small gap, unsure if this is expected or not.


What else could cause this?
I was thinking that it could be the clutch or the synchros, but ideally I could validate before changing those parts.

Thanks for your help!

Well if it didn't happen before you switched over to the wevo shifter then that's probably a good place to start.

That gap is not too bad; likely not the cause of your issue. Like mentioned above, you need to look at the WEVO shifter and PSJ coupling closely. Make sure you are getting complete and free movement of the shifter; for example, make certain the boot isn't interfering or binding/limiting somehow. Also be sure the PSJ is mounted correctly (not upside down, and bolts are properly engaged and torqued).
The G50 trans is pretty bullet proof, and problems in syncros would be unusual at your low mileage.
