Which diff. mount?
 

I am going to order a new differential mount today because its busted and bouncing around. I looked on mazdatrix website and there are two different mounts, a front a two rear (it says two rear mounts needed per car).

Which mount is the one that breaks most often? I dont have to money to replace all of them (considering its 70 bucks each for the two, and 110 for the front mount) And my jack broke so i cant get under and look.

What happens is when i give the car some gas, then let off the throttle and keep the tranny in gear, ill get this loud "CLUNK" from behind me. I have replaced both engine mounts, and the tranny mounts and it still does it. Is this the diff mount?

jup its the frunt diff mount. Get the harden diffmount so that you wont have to change it again.

Yeah, the front mount is the one that breaks most often. The rear are on the 'ears' of the differential and don't break very easily.

I believe the hardened mount is also cheaper than the stock mount.

Thanks guys, i ordered up one of the stiff mounts for the front. Also an ACV block-off plate so i can start tidying up unused parts :)
