hey guys,
do the early EA Borg-Warner 'boxes have problems with the gearbox mounts coming loose over time? ive noticed in mine, when i give it some, in 1st gear the stick kinda jerks right over past where 3rd should be  this kinda gives the indication that the gearbox is a tad loose and twists around a bit, yeah?
this is kinda freaky coz one day it might give way and bye bye driveline 
so yeah, anyone have any ideas about these things? any help is appreciated. cheers

Loctite your engine mounts
I would say replace them would be a better option, the rubber will be f**k, engines have hit bonnets before because the mounts are f**k. EA-ED are notorious for it.

My gearstick does that toooo
 , I do believe that the mounts hated the motor lying up against the firewall..  ...car was fine before that.
