yup could be the gear box mount but its more likely to be the suspension seeing as your lowered.

The drop links are metal bars that connect the anti roll bar to the strut body. The tend to wear out quickly when lowered and sysmptoms are dull knocking noise. Not the worst thing in the world you cna get a set for 30 quid and replace them in an hour easily
