tranny mount question... need quick reply

so i thought it was good that my flight was bumped back to this wed. so that i could put the car away properly, except today while i was driving i hear a crash coming from the transmission and pull over check it out and i think the tranny mount just undid itself. I managed to slowly drive it back home fine. Question is can i drive it around town to the gas station and to get the oil change ( i have no time to do it myself)?


sorry accidentally posted inside another thread before

Yes just be careful. Where did it get undone from??? The two 17mm bolts???? The middle 12mm bolts??? Anyways if its the 17mm ones then that means that the only thin thats holding the tranny up is the motor and the dirve shaft (but hardly by the shaft) Id check the front engine mount bolts make sure they're tight and the engine mount bolts. Other than that be carefull and drive slow.

Its one of the 17mm bolts... ok... I would just fix it but I'm leaving Wed. I've got no time. I'll have to save it for next year. Thanks for the help!

i still have just the motor mounts on and no tranny mount but the motor mounts are solid so that probably helps and the tranny mount is hooked up but the rubber is all gone so oh well. i just have'nt had enough time to take the heat shielding off and mount it up.
