Broke Motor Mounts??

[POS Racing]

Is there an easy way to check to see if you have broken motor mounts on your Miata?

The wife is home this week so I swiped her car this AM the shifter seemed to move around a bit more than my '99 as you would modulate the throttle.

TIA

Easy there, Sally...

I really couldn't tell until I took them out. I guess the shifter was pretty sloppy, but I didn't really have anything to gage it on, it was always that way.

It's much better now.

Well that's lovely, but is there an easy way to check and see if the ones I got are broke???

Easy? The only thing I could think of was what you mentioned at my place... and that would be to lift the engine and check the mounts as if you were replacing them.

And how would one do that without the proper motor pulling apparatus??

With a floor jack and an appropriately-sized piece of wood?

See how far you can rock each engine by hand?

Exactly... like you do when you replace them... from below.

How much? (NAY1-39-040 - MOUNT, ENGINE - COMPETITION)

[Tim the Teacher]

Ask Bean, they are marked for him at 74.00 plus shipping to Frisco from Plano (25.00) Why does he need them?...I don't really know unless he is going to throw them into the box with all the other BUR parts.

Maybe he is actually making progress on the rebuild.

...plus shipping to Frisco from Plano (25.00)

Shipping costs as much as Tim's top speed...

Maybe he is actually making progress on the rebuild.

I will have my camera with me to get a "spy" photo of what is going on inside Bean's garage when I deliver the mm's.

[Treibenschnell]

Meh... I'll take the photo for ya!

Did someone say Photo Op?

WOW!

USPS Priority mail Flat Rate Shipping is 8 Dollars and some change for all you can shove into that box. I've shipped some heavy metal pieces in those boxes!
