Unhappy Broken mount damage?
Well it looks like I have a broken differential mount.
I have the evil clunk when I shift.

I was wondering what would be damaged if I just drove like this for a while. I'm out of money right now and don't have the tools needed to replace it.

yah high speeds have a tendancy to put extra strain on the U-joints. the competition mount is 99 bux. i got mine sitting right here.

I just recently purchased mine from Mazdatrix but theyre on backorder and supposed to get a new shipment in sometime next week. I think I paid 115 shipped for the competition mount.

I just looked at Mazdatrix and they have front and rear mounts.
Would I need both or is there a way to find out which one is needed?

Dude, I know it sounds ghetto but on my old 87 base I had a couple of ratchet straps wrapped around the front of the diff and sub-frameto hold it down. That held extremely well for me for about 3 weeks till i got it fixed.
Temporary fix I know, but its free and may give ya just enough time to get a mount Just a thought.
