hi mate.. check the flange bolt going to the gearbox flange is tight.. this is a common problem coming loose on the blade engine.. normally caused if
the prop isnt properly aligned....

It's almost impossible to coast in first gear without it snatching, as the car jerks your foot jerks on the pedal and it gets worse.
If the carbs are a little out of balance then this makes things worse.
Have you got a lot of throttle pedal travel, again only a short push makes things worse again as it will be very sensitive to small movements.

I'm with Jonny p as mine was knocking a little before the prop came off the gear box at 70 mph and turned my engine into spares.
