The stock mount has so much slop, it's almost useless.




Did you do the drive training procedure? It's supposed to remove any slop. Also make sure both clutch nobs are tight (but not so tight you break them)






Yup, done all of those - several times. I could send it away for one of those super upgrade/repair dealies, but it would cost the same as getting a decent mount, anyway.
