When you drop the large sump its bolted to the bottom of the gear box.

I would also check that the breather is seated correctly and not hanging down.

you have simular simptoms to what i first experianced last year which was due to water in the gearbox. so check the connection on the sid of the rad.

Good look let us know how you get on.
