Part I.d. Please

Hi guys, I wss just wondering what the solid metal cube about 2inches across attached to the bottom of the auto gearbox is for. It's attached via a 1 inch piece of rubber almost directly under the rear tailshaft where it exits the gearbox. Mine has detached...not sure if I should care...

Cheers

I think it is some kind of balance weight.

Ok cheers, sounds pretty important then.

Got a pic?

Anti vibration weight. Not that critical, I wouldn't bother replacing it personally. Did you notice any change in NVH or vibration?

Thanks, yes there is a resonationg noise which occurs as I accelerate through 2500-3000rpm which is new. I had figured a trim panel or similar was coming loose in the rear.

I'll look into it.

Cheers
