Not exactly, but I take your point. The thing I meant was where a
metal strip would be fixed to a bolt on the gearbox or crossmember
etc. The other end of it would have two holes for the ends of a U bolt
which went round the exhaust. Even with dealer parts, there would
always be a slight difference in the exhaust. If the fitter took the
old exhaust off by removing the U bolt, then offered up the new pipe,
it wouldn't quite line up. The fitter would then get a mate to push
the pipe up or down so he could get the ends of the bolt through the
holes, then put the nuts on. What they should have done was to slacken
off the bolt at the other end of the strap, and allow it to move so it
was just touching the pipe, and the U bolt could then be fitted wihout
any strain, then re-tighten the bolt and the nuts on the U bolt.

That will cause rubber engine mounts to lose their elasticity and the
driver would notice that the gear stick is all over the place.
Difficulty selecting gears. When revs are applied the stick moves
upwards. In that case the torque stay is the first and easiest to
renew. This is from my own experience, trial and error. Not an expert
opinion,

I think that last may be a bit much to blame on an exhaust prob, other
issues at work there.

With you now, Steve. I see what you mean.

Thanks.
