I was just asking about mine going bad. Maybe something in that topic will help you, even though mine is a 95.

BTW... the front engine mount is a fairly common failure on the Gen 2. The rubber portion is usually what fails. Part of the reason is b/c the oil filler spout is directly above the mount. Oil+rubber=not good.

I think the front mount was replaced 3 times on my '92.

I replaced the front mount on the 3.8L police package (Gen 2) I used to own several times. I think it should be included in the regular maintenance section of the owner's manual. :lol:

You got hosed... BIG TIME! Sorry...

Hey Six, I respect your opinion, please email me why you think I was hosed. The mechanic is my regular guy, and I am not able to do it myself. [email protected] Reason I ask is because it didn't seem to cure the 45mph shakes and the tranny blew out reverse 2 weeks later!
