Changed Engine Mount and Made Custom Support Stops

Smoother upshifting especially between first and second and smoother downshifting especially from 3rd to 2nd.

Interesting that the clapping sounds during shifts actually got louder with the new engine mount.

Suggest following Pedro's DIY instructions as you definitely want to remove the four bolts holding the yoke before removing the engine mount bolts and installing the new mount.

Had to make some custom support stops because Pelican sent me the older version of stops for the older version engine mount.

Having a four post ramp lift with an additional motor/transmission jack really made the job less difficult.

Highly suggest using/purchasing ratcheting wrenches for the tight spaces where socket wrenches won't fit.
