how many motor mounts do we have? Options

[TigerWoodsJr]

how many motor mounts are on the 5SFE, manual trannies? because I feel like one of my motor mounts is gone...I have replaced the rear, the left one under the airbox and then the front one this morning...still having the same problem. I get a vibration when starting off....if I put a strap from the hook on the front right side of the head to the front of the car by the battery, it stops the vibration....any ideas? I can tell something is up when I shift the car as well =\

My car has been doing that stuff too. My car vibrates like crazy sometimes, and makes really bad clacking / clunking noises when i hit the accelerator; i took it to a shop, and the verdict. She's about to throw a rod according to my mechanic, he says the 7afe does it very frequently and he's seen it a lot with my particular engine, but he's never seen one before it happened; so he cant be positive. I also have an auto tranny, but you do seem to be having a lot of the same problems, take it to a mechanic and have him take a stethoscope to her, or maybe you can do that urself. Maybe i'm just ranting out my ass, i dont know, that was my .02 or whatever...

im not getting the mounts confused...I have already replaced the 3 on the engine, the front, back and one on the left side under where the stock intake would be. The strap im talking about is my ghetto fabulous mod trying to get it so that **** doesn't happen. My engine is moving around more than it should...it ****ing clanks, im super pissed about it and nobody knows whats wrong. I know it doesn't directly relate to my clutch...but if the engine is trying to move away from the tranny and **** and stuff is moving that shouldn't...its not good. When I have the strap on to hold the engine forward instead of having it off...the car grabs gears much better.
