Hey Guys,

So it seems to me that my engine mounts might need to be replaced, because I am feeling excessive drive train movement. At higher RPM shifts, it feels like my engine moves slightly and shifts aren't as smooth as they once were. I have already had the trans mount replaced, and that hasn't seemed to help. I checked the forums, and this seems to be a common issue with the 400's and 430's, but I see little regarding the 300's.

I guess my question is how difficult is it to replace the mounts on the 300? It only looks like there are two mounts, but how hard a job is it? Does anyone here in the north east do this kind of work relatively inexpensively? I live in northern Virginia, thanks!

 

Not to bad but they hardly ever go bad. How many miles do you have on your car. Have you changed your rear diff fluid yet?

 

The car has 80k miles, rear diff fluid was replaced at 75k miles along with trans fluid. I tried the engine load test today, I opened my hood put the brake on and loaded the engine in drive and reverse and didn't see much movement. Perhaps they are on their way out and not shot yet?
