Nope, not that bad/loud or predictable as the one on youtube.

The engine mount makes sense as it needs one. But what in the engine mount wear forces it to make a noise?

It's never been replaced and I have some stiff shifting and she sounds horrible when I run down pothole ridden streets near my home. Plus I have the weird vibration in the early 2k rpm range.

I will get on that project asap and report back, I think the part is only $150 and should be able to knock that out per pedro's instructions.
