My transmission mount has been suspicious for the last few months... As some may remember, back this summer i replaced my driveshaft with a new one.... That took care of 90% of vibrations.....

So this evening, after I finally got home from school (finals are finally over, woohoo!), I installed my new bose in dash CD head unit and decided to check out my transmission mount...

I got under there, and it looks "good"..... however, it looks bowed in the middle.... It doenst look smashed or anything, but it almost doesnt look like the trans is fully resting on it... The rubber looks fairly pliable and doesnt look too bad...

It just looks like something is squeezing it in or something.....

If members of this forum think that this sounds like how ones transmission mount looked when replaced, i will call up joe tomorrow and order me a new mount...

Mine "looked" fine when I yanked it, but the car felt better after I replaced it. The mount had 140K on it, so it was more of a PM move.

...unless my Q played a Jedi mind trick on me....

indeed

just verfied and they have the same design... The MT and AT ones should be the same since they dont show a different diagram for the MT model.
