My motor mount leaked out...
At least I know what is causing the main vibration now...
well I guess it was only a matter of time before I'd have to replace them. But the question now is... put a new stock one i bought a while back in, or swap in 2 new aftermarket ones... hmmm...
and for those of you who are very confused... V motor mounts are hydraulic filled pieces of junk.

If they say the aftermarket are improved (smoother) and better than the stock junk, install BOTH new ones. If one just went, the other can't be far behind!

Just got an email back from the manufacturer of the most recommended mounts, they offer a 10% military discout. WIN. I also found out they make a 8.8" bolt-in IRS rear for my car too. At $4,600 for everything(rear, axles, driveshaft) its 400 less than the 9" and requires absolutely no modification to car. Expensive yes, but that 10% discout... that would mean 460 bucks off...sweeeet.

Just ordered the new motor mounts...
They come with new custom heat shields too.
I also got a new set of aftermarket shifter bushings said to help take out some play in the crappy stock shifter. I'll do that when I do the clutch this fall.
