Thanks Guys for your help!

On saturday I took the car to my old mans shop, used the rack/lift (made this 300x easier) and removed the engine mount... Sure enough the rubber mount was ripped at all 3 corners.

BTW, for the past 1.75 years I've had horrific 2nd gear grinding when down shifting or up shifting during hard cornering. Also i could never accelerate really hard in 1st gear and shift into 2nd without grinding it unless i waited for the engine RPM's to drop abit.


Now after I filled the engine mount with urethane, Shifting has improved greatly. I no longer grind in any of the senarios listed above... No grinding what so ever. I also notice another charactoristic, When cornering, i always felt like the engine would tilt over a bit, now i dont feel that anymore, the rear-end feel alot more like a single solid peice of machinery.... sorta like the engine is now 1 with the chasis and suspension.

The interior vibration isnt bad but the noise that transfers into the cabin bugs me abit. Almost sounds like my PSE was swapped out for a SteveFu signature Exhaust.... Sorry Steve lol
