On another note.
What caused the ears from the tranmission to break in the first place??? I find it hard to believe the rubber mount was intact but the aluminum case broke. There could be other issues to look at as well.



Are there any specific other issues you have in mind?

I'm not really sure what caused it to break. I noticed that the car sometimes used to shudder slightly when going from a stop or shifting into second, especially under moderate to heavy acceleration, but I never really thought much of it. Now that I know the mount is broken the car doesn't seem to drive much differently so it's possible that's it's been broken since I bought it. The vibrations from the broken engine mount are what caused me to take it in, and I'm guessing the broken tranny mount contributed greatly to that.
