Guys, I recently added an ome md suspension setup to my 1996 discovery. The car has a 5 speed and has been abslutely great so far. Unfortunately now it rattles everytime i hit a bump. I am relatively sure it is coming from he transmission or the front end. Any help would be greatly apreciated. The car only has 65000 miles and is otherwise great.

My '93 RRC that I converted to an OME coil setup did the same thing until I replaced all the bushings with Polybush reds, replaced the shocks with OME, checked my swivel preload, adjusted the steering box and chedcked and tightened everything else down. Oh, and it still rattles on washboard gravel roads thanks to the pads and anti-splash shields rattling.

I would doubt that your gearbox has anything to do with it, but check all the other stuff underneath and you may be able to get the rattle out. I suspect, however, that something will still rattle a bit thanks to the stiffer springs.
