RE: Transmission Mounts

[ANDREW FINNEY <afinney@bigplanet.com>]

"BTW, I also found the driver's side engine mount to be shot.  IMO the
engine
mounts are the ones to be most worried about.  While I'm not sure I buy
it
yet, I've heard some say that engine mount failure is at least a
contributor
to broken EMs & studs ... I know that on the QTC a broken passenger's
side
engine mount allowed the engine to drop enough so that the oil pan would

contact the subframe crossmember on acceleration.

On my UrQ the passenger side engine mount failure resulted in a lack of
5th gear. I had to slam it into fifth. It also caused vibration and a
weird squeeky clunk noise when cornering. A new one from Autobahn (Chris
S.) cured all that. The old one's rubber was rock hard and had
shattered.
