OK to drive without a motor mount?
Is it ok to drive without the motor mount pictured below?
It's the one that's under the frame rail on the driver's side. Would it be a problem if I drove the car (not a lot) with the mount off? I broke the mount while trying to take it off and need to order another one.

you will be fine, however i don't recommend driving on it for any extended period of time because it will put alot of stress on your other mounts, eventually causing them to fail as well.

If your motor mounts are old and stock, I would recommend replacing the supporting mounts (the one thats broken)
If you have aftermarket stiffer motor mounts, then I wouldnt worry

its only a torque mount...it would be better if you had it fixed for sure but if you have good stiff motor mounts you should be ok, but its worth fixing just my .02

I drive my car hard all day long and I dont hear a clunking. That mount doesnt really support the motor anyway, just a torque mount.
