hi fellas and thanks for the advice
the car has done 142000ks
the torque converter was originally replaced at 133000ks 18 mths ago so as you can see it doesnt do much work and the shudder usually becomes evident only when driving around town when evething is warmed up its not an issue when highway driving

p.s. i took delivery of the car8/07 and had it roadworthied then no engine mount dramas then

depending on how thorough the inspector is will determine wether they pick up the mount or not.

I had the top right mount busted for 3 years before i got it repaired. No one said anything.

Howdy again

On my old Commodore I could tell when the engine mounts had failed. I placed the transmission in drive and placed my foot on the brake. Then gave a few short sharp revs. The engine would move in the mounts, causing a knocking sound. It was also visible to the observer. Not sure if this would work for you, as Commodores are rear wheel drive.
