Re: Broken Motor Mount
 

So I'm pretty sure Auto Zone gave me the wrong mounts. They're about a
half inch off. Honestly, they have the biggest @#$#ing morons working
there. I don't know how it could be any easier for them - they look up
the part on a computer, go in the back and find the part that matches.
not that hard, yet they continually screw it up.

Both mounts that were on there were broken in the same place, they
basically ripped the rubber around the bolts.

You should replace the tranny mount also.
