Tightened up, re-locktited (had dried for 30 mins) and then I drove around in 2 small circles and it did it straight away.

I have had previous issues with 2nd gear stripping as stated before..

Any possible fixes?

Thanks,
Cameron.
Hi Camo
Check that the screws on the back of the engine mount and motor are not to long and touching
you can tighten the screws as much as you like but they will not tighten and sandwich the mount to the chassis because they bottom out on each other
Just an i dear
