I bought a used 96 Mystique GS last week for my wife with 98K miles and have been working my way through these forums since then.
I have headed off multiple issues like the water pump, IMRC, and now the motor mounts. I couldn't figure out what the heck was causing a horrible rumbling noise when the car was shifted into reverse sometimes. It turned out that the auto tranny is sitting right up on the subframe due to a set of wasted mounts.
The replacements should be in any day now and I look forward to popping them in.
I saw that others have advised working on one mount at a time to avoid any powertrain alignment issues when you don't have the Ford tool. That's just what I'm going to do!
BTW, the tranny case already had a visible amount of case shaved away because of the contact with the sub-frame. Nothing that I'm worried will start leaking, but it just goes to show that if left alone, it *will* lead to disaster.
Thanks!!!

 Whoa, uh... Like thanks again! I sense an opportunity here.  So uh do I get some cash, or some free upgrade parts? Beer? LOL Seriously, even though I hadn't made a post, I tremendously appreciate the wealth of information that I found in these forums, and how to guides. Thanks for the welcome!
