Engine Mount replacement

Working on the engine mount on my 98 Base. Pretty straight forward so far.

Lots of good tips on this forum. Specifically the tip for lowering the engine to slide out the bottom two bolts helped. I never had to take off the coolant hoses.

One tip I didn't see was to open up the engine cover behind the seats to access and loosen the top two bolts. This made them super easy to get at. Saved lots of time. *edit: saw this tip and the one above on the pelican comments section after I did the work! Guess I could have done even more research!

Bushing was cracked, but still intact. Car has 170k kms. 100k kms on a replacement engine. I believe this is the original bushing.

I am replacing with the lemfoerder unit (pretty sure it's almost OEM). I want to maintain stock feel.

Getting the new mount pressed in at a local shop. Then I'll reinstall tomorrow. Hoping to feel the difference everyone talks about.

*update: the vibration experienced at ~3k RPM is gone. And when I head over speedbumps the shifter movement is subdued. Total time in is about 1.5 hours (excluding getting the bushing pressed out). Worth the effort for the results.
