If you have to drive it, dont take it over like 2k or else that things going to THUMP on your floor.

Not sure on the price of stock replacement (what I assume your looking for) as I usually use poly mounts.

Trans mount is under $30 and its very simple to change. If you can't find a mount locally we have them in stock ready for same day shipment.

well you could have asked this in the other thread, and I stated in there that I picked up a polyurathane one from autozone for $21. Hold on let me go find the write up I used.

http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...sity/index.htm

^ go to this site, on the left there is a link that says Install Documents. Click on that. Scroll to the bottom and click on the
Transmission Mount Replacement link, and your done.


There you go shows just how easy it is. If you take this to a shop to be done, I'm going to come across the internet and slap you, lol. It takes 1 hr AT MOST, and that includes the time it takes to put the car on and off jackstands.

Get the Car up on Jacks, support the Trans, pop off the Cross Member and the Broken Mount.. then reverse steps for assembly.

Yep, even if you don't wrench ever, this is something you could do. Going off of memory, 7 bolts/nuts you have to remove. I'm sure the tutorial k0261886 (lmao I just looked at his avatar, nice dude) put up will make it easier than cooking Ramen!
