Yeah I really need to do it, the rocking in 1st and 6th is a little offputting, as is the noise I get when coming off the gas in 6th.

My F23 is 14 years old, and around 110k. It does rattle under load.

I reckon the casing cast is cheaply and poorly made. Perhaps applying too much pre load on the bearings.
