Broken Engine Mounts
I just pulled the 13B out of my 89' GTU ( Approx. 5:45 first 13B Pull ) and I found that the passanger side engine mount ( the black rubberlike compund ) was broken. I have access to some stock GTU mounts for cheap, but should I go that route? Or are they notorious for breaking and I should replace them with another brand? If so, does anyone have any reccomendations?

Says they're not for my year. Would you happen to have part #'s? I'd be intrested in doing both Transmission AND Enging mounts, my engine being out and all.

Ahh, allright. Do you think it's worth the extra $20 to go ahead and swap the tranny mounts now? Seems like it's worth it if it stops the shifter from bounching around. ( Roads around here SUCK )

Your assuming the shifter will still bounce with replaced motor mounts.
Remember your replacing the part that was most of the the reason that your shifter was moving.
I woud go with softer mounts, the stock replacements last 10-15 yrs, and get a stiff tranny mount.
Just me...
