ihateallmustangs Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 So upon further diagnostic of the clicking/rubbing front end problem. I got a person to hold the brake and put the car back and forth into drive and reverse while I looked underneath The tranny would move at least an inch in each direction if not more. So I pulled the tranny mount and it is rubber. But rust , full of hairline/dry cracks but no serious rips. Just old and the bolts are not so stiff when you pull them side to side by hand. Should the tranny mount feel pretty tight? This one also has a sqished look to it with buldging bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I was going to replace mine when i did the motor mount, but I don't think the transmission mounts are hydrolic filled like the motor mount. The replacement one (which I returned) was hard rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Replace it. Thats a bad mount Only the front or side (depending on year) are hydraulic. What year engine is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ok, there should be I think 4 mounts in total? Trans, hydraulic filled engine mount, dogbone, and another trans/engine mount combo. Change em all. I just changed them on my '94 3.4 GP w/195k. The hydraulic mount was in the worst shape. Depends on how you drive it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
