Well I finished doing this at midnight last night lol. Bolts on stock mount were almost too easy to get out so must of got fairly loose. I was always getting shift thump on spirited driving and was quite sick of it.
Old mount out and sure in, very tight but snug fit in there, how it should be. Tightened to 75ft/lbs (sure recommend 65-85) with loctite red (this baby isnt coming out)
Old mount looks in surprisingly good condition after 80000km, no cracks or anything, not sure if the holes are standard? Anyway, impressed!
Impressions: no more shift thump, I can't feel any difference in vibes at idle or ac on its great. Power feels like it gets to the wheels just that little quicker. Shifting seems to 'slide' into gear more easily on hard driving.
Time taken: 1 hour give or take a few minutes for jacking the car up
Difficulty: ive never worked under a car other than oil changes and I found it very straight forward so 3/10 - hardest part was getting the bolts on the sure to line back up. I did support the engine but it was still a little tricky.
