[British-cars] [Mgs] TD question

[Peter Ryner]

Mike,
Sounds like bad motor and or trans mounts to me.  When you take off, the
engine will shift causing the rubbing and also shift when you let off the
gas causing the steering problem.  I'd check them all.  Of course the other
thing to check is your u-joints but you didn't complain of any knocking
noise the normal sound of u-joints going.
Pete

I have a couple of questions.  First, my TD drive shaft rubs when I
take off.  I assume my rear end must be twisting upwards to cause
this.  Why?  What should I check?

Second, the steering is very touchy but when I let off the gas it
wants to veer like oversteer.  And when I hit the gas it does the
same thing.

Suggestions of things to look at?

Thanks, Mike
