thanx, yeah had a few saying axel tramp just not sure thats all. thanx!

Yeh well ive heard of bad axle tramp but not bad enough to pop you out of gear, just make sure everything is tight and nothing is broken and if it still happens then go buy yourself some pineapples or solid cradle bushes and chuck them in and she should be sweet as!!

Pretty sure they both do the same thing, pineapples are made out of a hard rubber and are softer, where as solid cradle bushes are made out of solid billet alloy and are harder wearing, both will eliminate tramp and will help for bagging it up easier, just gets the power to the ground better!!

solid cradle bushes are different than pineapples. Solid cradle bushes replace the rubber bushes where as pineapples fill the gap between the cradle and the chassis to try and reduce the movement of the cradle. I'll try and find a video of the solid bushes being fitted.

EDIT!!

Here's the vid'

They use aluminium bushes in this vid' but acital is another common bush material

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
