Post subject:  Bunnyhopping problem when decelelerating

The van has started to bunny hop when slowing down to a stop whilst in gear.
The problem is most evident in second and first gear and i have been avoiding it occurring by just slipping it out of gear and riding the brake when approaching a red traffic light.
The gearbox and diff were rebuilt a while back and the problem has just started occurring and seems to be getting worse.
I'm not sure where to start looking-does anyone know what could cause this?

Is your engine secured, engine steadys etc?

Top engine steady bushes or an engine mount maybe?

Thanks gents, I never thought of the engine mounts or steadys.
I'll check them out and let you know.
Cheers

I had a similar problem in one of my old minis and found the top engine steady had broken away from the firewall after abit of welding and grinding never did it again
