I changed out mind. But..... I broke the center bolt on the botton on the driver side like a dumb ass. So I cut the top off the new on and just installed the botton. But I still getting staking when in drive and a low rpm (~1k) when like at a stop light. Could it be trans mounts?

I changed my driver's side mount a couple months ago, I guess I should try to do the passenger side as well haha, it did make a huge difference though!!

Make sure you keep diesel fuel from the primer pump off the mounts, I have a feeling that's why they fail so quickly
RE: changed those motor mounts - vstef_is - 02-09-2012
yup, I second that. Fuel likes to eat rubber, and will wear them out in no time.

I will need to replace the primer pump then since it leaks everytime i use it

I think some sort of a hood or something over the mounts would be good for keeping fuel off of them, somebody should design one and report back here lol

I have one!
Cover them in a zip lock bag!

I was thinking more along the lines of a pop can cut in half length wise and then shoved down over the thing and zip-tied/wired into place
