how much movement should there be in the gear box engine mount? ive got abit of movement from somewhere and although this replaced mount a couple of months ago i think it might have gone again. i removed it today and took some photos see below, is this worn or deos that seem about the right ammount of movement to have photos show the metal section in the extreme right and the extreme left position.
cheers mark
