Hello again.
I believe 1 of my engine mount went yesterday; symptoms; changing to off and on throttle i get abit of a thump and sometimes it pulls abit like the wheels aren't aligned but that could've been the crappy roads down southside. IT looks like its ruptured abit round the centre of the engine to firewall mount. i thought it was thee gearbox mount but i cant barely see any of it as it has a cover sort of thing on it. It was happening mostly when changing gears and i'd feel it when not n an optimal gear.

What i want to know will it cause anything else to break before i whack the new engine in; i think if i dont drive like a tool itll be fine. It has to not hurt anything in about 3 months... it really does affect the ride quality though but nothing really that bad...
thanks for any help

this is a quick fix that should be fine untill u buy new ones. its what i did untill i can buy the proper ones from the queenland section. only cost me about $25 and 10 mins to take out.

the wrecker will probaly charge u any where fron $50-$100

oh yea my other mount at the back looked just like urs and i did a diy solid mount to that one as well and its been like that for 2 months with no probs or cracks or damage. ull be surprized of how well it works. for 25 bucks it'll last at least a year without prob and is a good quick fix while u save money for new ones and that way atleast u wont damage anything else. but thats just my thoughts.
