Turbo (E153 Gearbox) 5th gear nod / movement

Post by MR2T_Jake »

Hi all!

Just had my engine forged and rebuilt and popped in a 52k mile E153 to replace the gearbox I had that had 5th gear pop out.

It holds every gear and feels pretty good, except that 5th gear is "moving" / "nodding" when letting off the accelerator.

I have poly shifter bushes, a 93+ shifter, MT-90 fluid, and the front and rear engine mounts are also poly bushed.

Is this fairly common for a bit of movement in 5th?

Thanks for any help :)
