So I had the V in the dealership for the 50k service, and they said the left engine mount was bad. How do I check this for myself? If it does need replacing, how hard is it to change and how do I go about it? I looked on alldata or whatever and they had nothing, and there is no Haynes manual for a V (according to my wife and Autozone).

Well, damn. Last time I had it up, I'm pretty sure I saw yellow-brown drip like stains down there.
Anyone know how hard it is to change them? I have access to a lift and tools for another week.

When my passenger side was bad, I had the coffee stains, and I could see the engine move a bunch with a light clutch pop in reverse with the hood open. It also shook and rattled a little more than normal when I turned the car off.

Yep did it in the driveway following two videos on youtube! The video was made by a employee of creative steel showing how to install there mounts. It took me about 6 hrs and I took my time.

Mine had had 33322 on them when they took their dump. i did not install them myself, because at the time i didnt feel like it. like D said, it is fairly straight forward and simple. if you know your way around a car (and judging by your sig, you do) it can me done easily.

The way I knew wasn't as much of the "dieseling" at shutdown, like most people say. In mine, I had a [B]HARD SLAMMING[B] when I shifted hard. It was like the engine would slam against the frame or mount when I would press the clutch and then it would "yank" against the mount when I would torque back on it after shifting. This was due to the mount being blown out and having 1-2" of slack in a mount that is supposed to be somewhat rigid. I have the stockers back in mine now, and have some VERY spirited launches and driving on them....But I will go back with a set of CS ones once I blow these.

EDIT: After utilizing the search function, I have ordered some mounts. Thanks guys.
Also, sorry for somehow missing a thread that was only two days old answering my exact question.
