I've been noticing a lot of slack in my drivetrain lately, say if I get my revs up in 2nd then lift off instead of just slowing down it feels like the car is on an elastic band. Best way to describe it really :).

 

Just wondering what to check, such as the pitch stop being worn?

Engine mounts are a good start, finally got round to changing mine to group n ones, when lifting off I used to feel a sharp jolt, specially at higher speeds, now gone much smoother on acceleration and deceleration

Might go for group N all round then :).Notice any difference to vibration?

Yep none ! Dunno if this is because the old ones were shot the engine would wobble from left to right when revved, or I can't hear feel any extra due to the exhaust,

But the braking feel has also increased with the lack of fore / aft movement too
