effects of sagging rear trans mounts

["Mike Miller" <mikemilr@email.msn.com>]

Just had the rear trans mounts replaced on the 91 200q (91K mi). Major
difference. Was getting hard to shift, even with red line. Especially into
reverse. The real tip off was that backing off the throttle made the gear
shift move (maybe 1/2 inch) and also clunked a little like a U-joint was on
the way out. Now the gear shift *does not move at all* when lifting the
throttle and no clunk!!!. Shifts really smooth. The mounts were not broken,
just sagging about 35 mm. Dealer cost for the mounts was $43/ea.
