Motor mount

For about the last year I have thought there is something wrong with either my throw out bearing, wheel or suspension. I would get a clunk when shifting into second or a clunk when turning sharp at low speed. The car was also a bit jerky after shifts. After some recent research I pretty much figured it had to be the mount and turns out I was right. Also those who say you can do this job with ramps is a filthy liar 😂

I stopped myself just before the point of no return and took my car to my buddys that’s has a small lift

The mount had completely come apart, I ended up putting the 987 mount in and the car feels new again 😮****💨

I can never get pictures to work when posting mobile so this is the best you get 😅

This filthy liar did the water pump... motor mount... trasmisssion mounts (with a great assist from a forum member), fuel filter... and most everything else under there... on stands.

Patience is the first thing I learned about working on these cars. Try it next time.
