[Shotimes] Re: Problems after clutch job...

[Edward Mazurek]

Hi Lee,

I don't remember seeing any of the motor mounts being torn or
broken. But, since they are rubber they may "losen up" without
actually tearing. I'm trying to decide if changing out the motor
mounts would allievate my problem to a large extent.

It's an easier place to start but still $300 or so in parts.

Thanks,

Ed
