No one ever searches. That's why I hardly post here anymore. Too many of the same questions over and over and over....And of course, the same wrong answers over and over and over.... Sigh...

Yes, you don't need to remove the engine or trans, but you do NEED to lift both of them to access the mounts.

You could do the trans mounts that way, but you're going to need some kind of hoist for the engine, I absolutely would not jack on the engine oil pan to get it up high enough to pull the mounts.

not listed, just phone them and say you want the comp. motor mounts for 86-91. as I said they are $22.75 each. you need 2. tranny was around $11 each, 2 of them. they are not listed either. Maybe different for turbo and N/A? not sure. so tell them what you have.

I think they are urethane? just a harder form of rubber. they are 40% stiffer then stock.

Thats what I was hoping for. Does anyone know if there is a urethane bushing set for out cars? Maybe by energy suspension? I searched but didnt find any info.
