    Anyone else have broken transmission mounts?

    So it turns out that I have been driving around on broken engine mounts. Both of them. I haven't given much thought to the trans+drivetrain on my car since I i'll be swapping it out in the near future and passed off the noises and vibration as things that I will be replacing in the near future during the swap, but this has to be done to keep me on the road until that point. The noise and vibration weren't nearly as bad as I would have imagined. These mounts likely broke because of a trans. fluid leak. My flex disc is pretty screwed as a result of the non-existent mounts so that will get changed out next weekend. The car feels incredible with new mounts in it, I thought that it was decently smooth before, but now its normal and things feel great! Has anyone else experienced broken mounts?

    That is a common failure. Take a look at your engine mounts, they may not be in much better shape.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        I replaced engine mounts a month ago and still felt vibration which caused me to look into trans mounts. :up:
