   My VTS has created a problem,i wonder if you guys can help with me not being very mechanically able.
   
   Basically the prob;em is with the drive off the car,it seems to pop out of gear and grind when i put my phone down on a roundabout or corner.
   
   The car is fine in a straight line but when im around town just driving the gearstick is wobblin back and forth a lot,it was never like this before!
   
   So basically what do people tink problem is?
   
   Im well pissed off and gutted right now

   mine popped out of gear when the linkage was buggered and it would grind round corners because of my drive shafts were broke and wheel bearing

   lowering 60mm does not pull the driveshafts out.
   check your gearbox mount and engine mounts.
