R31 Gearbox Probs

[ShayneJ]

My friend has a problem with his 5spd gearbox in his R31 skyline. Under heavy acceleration the gearbox moves to the right (when in first, the gearstick moves over to the 5th gear position) and when the car deaccelerates the gearbox moves back into its original possition. All his mates think it may be a gearbox bracket problem but thought i'd ask on here to be sure. If anyone knows what it is please tell me. A price would be good aswell as I am thinking about buying it. Aslong as its not too expensive to get fixed.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

I've had the same problem with my commodore! Your problem will be a broken engine mount. As the engine twists, the engine will lift off the mount. It was a party trick for me for a while till I fixed it. I used to brake at the same time as loading up the engine by letting out the clutch with the engine revving (not moving obviously). The engine just pops up! It will be the left mount because of the way the engine rotates. mongrel of a job. Gotta lift up the engine to replace it. I just replaced my 6 with a V8. good luck!
