      That muthafucka is snapped, right?

      If so, thatd explain why my fan keeps smashin my radiator fins. Time for a few more upgrades I s'pose.

        Uh, duh.

        When did fixing shit become an upgrade?

          If it breaks, upgrade it.

          Stock motor mounts ---> Urethane
          Craptastic radiator ---> IE Aluminum
          Maybe an electric fan?

            Definitely broken. There's also definitely no need for anything better than the stock radiator.

                So installation of the motor mounts was a breeze. It appears that both mounts were shot, the driverside being worse than the passenger side. Passenger side was just separated from the rubber, and the driverside was seperated but the rubber was cracked through as well.

                Anyways, new IE urethanes are in, fan is nice and distant from the radiator, and shifter feel as improved as well. I don't know how long the mounts have been like shit, but that may have put a good amount of stress on the tranny mounts too. I'll have to check on those this weekend.
