Motor Mounts ???

[jwolf]

Here is video of my shifter on my 2000 RT-10.
Is this amount of movement normal or do I have a bad motor mount?
Car is in neutral.
It is filmed dark to better show movement.

Doesn't look bad to me.

looks ok but if you feel its excessive replace the mounts, i only had 30k on my mounts and they were literally falling apart

My 97 only has 9k miles and I replaced engine and tranny mounts with poly, the drive train feels more planted in the car. It's worth your time to do the switch.

Stock mounts do have some movement. You have to check for cracks in the mounts to see if they are starting to fail, you can see them from under the car.

I had nothing wrong with the mounts on my car and after I upgraded to woodhouse mounts everything felt better. Even when you come out of a turn and acclerate everything feels more solid.

What is deceiving here is that much movement is in neutral without any drive-train load. Under acceleration that could be much worse. To get an accurate assesment you would need to get a shot with it in gear under heavy acceleration. If in doubt swap 'em out!
