Yeah so I dunno where to get this stuff. Prefer to go online and order them, because not sure if I trust places around here. But, if I must........ So how much am I looking at to buy them and where is a good source for ones that WILL fit? I need them bad now....... I have waited too too long.

Well, from my experience with past cars, worn motor mounts tend to affect the "seat of your pants" dyno. Meaning that it feels like less torque because the engine is moving a lot causing the burst of power to be diminished. So your not loosing power just the car is absorbing the feeling of it. Does this even make since? tongue.gif lol. Its hard for me to put it into words i guess.

When you shift with your current clutch, does it slip? A clutch is supposed to last about 7-10 years minimum unless your speed shifting, double clutching, and just all around dogging it. How old is the clutch btw? are you sure who ever installed it before aligned it? Do you have the correct amount of transmission fluid in it?

Not sure about the fluid, it is only a year old (this new one). Slips in first and second. This is the same story on how it failed me near the end when I had to reline it in 5th just to get 65mph, and on the street reline in 3rd just to get 20mph. I am sure the mount are affecting it as well, which is why the guy who did the clutch won't touch it until those mounts are replaced. But I am not going to be charged $600 for that and doing it myself.
