I thought that my rear transmission mount was causing a weird shift movement on WOT power or compression braking. On hard starts, I can feel something hit under there. I changed that transmission mount, not much changed. The old one was soaked with dexron from the manual transmission's tailshaft oil seal. Changed the seal and the mount. Anyhow, I figure that if someone is watching my engine with the hood open, if I do a high torque fake start with the parking brake fully on. No BS, the engine's left side lifted up big time. I looked at the manual and read the procedure for changing the mount. Looks like a pain. You end up having to drop the steering linkage from the rack, and drop the subframe, but looking at the picture in the manual and the real car, I don't see the likeness to what I saw. I saw the outer ends of the sub-frame with two bolts each side at the very ends. The picture shows four bolts in a line, so maybe I am looking at the wrong part on my actual car's sub-frame.
Has anyone done an engine mount remove and replace on either a V-8 or a V-6?
They sell these on rock auto. I have one heading to my house for $57 shipped. Autozone shows it a special order item, for $66, my FLAPS has it listed for $76, 360 miles away in Baltimore and ford list is $86.
