How many of you changed motor mounts?
I'm about to do the clutch job and I'm thinking its about time to change motor mounts too...its a 1990...120k on the clock. I'll prolly go with the MS motor mounts, and I was just wondering how many of you guys would recommend these and how much of a PITA these are to put in?

I've always wondered the same. I'm stupid and didn't do it when I had my motor out!!! I did do the clutch then though.
Drive side looks easy as it's right there, may require removing the DP.

ooo...wow, thats not good ^ at all lol.
Can it be done w/ ramps and a jack...w/ everything attached?
how involved is this...I just keep finding motor pulls...not sites on just changing motor mounts.

i replaced my motor mounts meyself with the MS replacements. it took me longer than most people said it would, but all you really need is a floor jack, jackstands and some wood blocks.
remove the front wheels too. i used a 24" prybar to make adjustments to get the holes to line up. at 100k on my '92, one mount was compressed, the other had tears in the material (not the metal).
the new mounts also brought back improved shifter feel.

improved shifter feel...really? hmmm this is def something I'm going to do then, I'll try to do it before I do the clutch/flywheel so I can beat the hell out of it later on ;D
