Confused about RX-7 motor mounts
Well I was pulling the motor and trans out of my 88 NA FC.
So I disconnected everyting minus the motor mounts, and then took the weight off the motor mounts by pulling the motor up with the engine hoist, and everything just came up! I never touched the motor mounts at all!!
Did I tear on of the motor mounts? Should I replace the mounts when I put the new engine back in?
What did I do wrong?
Thanks alot!

The center of the motor mount that actually does the supporting is made of a stiff rubber. Over time it will tear in half, thus a broken motor mount.
You can get much stiffer competition engine and tranny mounts (highly recommended) for a similar price to the stock ones at mazdatrix. They greatly stiffen the drivetrain but don't really add any NVH.
