thstone, thanks for the feedback. I think I will leave the tranny mounts alone for now...

As for the engine mounts, I had my mechanic change that and he made it look so easy.

Just in case anyone is wants to know... there is actually a Lemfoerder bearing that u can buy, it's less than $40 or so. So instead of buying the entire new engine mount, u can just replace the round bearing part. It's an updated 987 style as well and is similar to the standard mounts and NOT the harder race type. I didn't try that, as my mechanic didn't have a machine press at his workshop, so I went for the complete engine mount.

Stateofidleness - I got my engine mount from Pelican, they sell the complete engine mount as well as the Lemfoerder bearing.

Dale_K - just a side track - what ATF fluid are you on ? The original stuff only comes in 20 litre pak.
