Think mines doing the same, does yours make an awful racket when you fully depress the clutch inbetween changing gears, or just when your driving in gear Luke ?

im hoping mine is clutch rather than gearbox !!! haha

Cal

hmmmm mines been doing that too !!!!

though my motor was gonna burn up ! haha

Nice to hear im not the only person suffering from it. . . surley smoke cant be good from a steering wheel !!!

Cal

yea since the days of putting on my 17" wheels, i started to get the problem, and now that ive got my 15" back on, it only seems to happen when theres more than 2 people in the car, cold weight be making a difference?

As the subject says, ive been ringing around for a day now, and no-where seems to stock or even be able to get in for me, 195/45/17 tyres !!!!

Mines the same, likes to kangaroo a bit in first gear if u dont give it enuff revs. . .you get used to it though. . although u really do notice it when u get in ...
