It's ok to drive without motor mount?
I was just wondering if it is alright to drive without an motormount, I was attempting to replace my oil pan gasket and I removed the mount bolts without putting a restraint to keep it from moving and now i can't bolt it up, so i was wondering if i'm able to drive with that in there without it fully secure, until like tuesday when i can get into the shop to get this done?

Ok this is scaring the mess out of me now! As I'm driving and taking off in first I hear a vibration, now its because of the motor mount that is connected to the oil pan gasket, and I don't have a whole bunch of money to get it into the shop just for that, so how do i come about fixing this problem? should i take the whole mount off, and put it back on again, start with the 3 bolts and then put it to the body? Any type of info would be helpful..... Thank you

easy fix would be to jack up the engine by the oil pan, remove the mount from the engine and reinstall it, it should only take about 20-30 minutes. be sure to put some sealant on the heads of the bolts that go through the pan, they can leak since they do go into the crankcase.
