Re: Tranny Mount?

I had a mount making noise but it was only when in gear with high idle before the engine warmed up to temperature. I found this front mount with the car on 4 jack stands. I had my wife put it in gear and rev. the engine slightly. Watch both front and rear mounts with a light as this is done. The rear mount is hard to change if you have to do it I can tell you how I did it.
The instrument panel screws came loose and made noise above the speedometer. I had a couple of bad idler bearings. The power steering pump made a lot of noise and really bounced the tension adjuster. Water pump bearings make noise. Take the belt off and run it for a short period of time if the noise goes away start checking for a bad bearing. Watch the exhaust joint at the manifold they go bad sometimes if a mount is bad. My wifes car seems to be falling apart at 79,000 miles.
