I saw this while I was installing my Skunk2 A Arms. Is my drivers side engine stabilizer/mount shot?



Im wondering if this has caused my car to "klunk" when I shift out of 1st gear. My transmissions is up to par, no grinds, good oil, almost brand new, new clutch. My car klunks everytime I shift and Im thinking it can be this moving around?

 

If any of those 4 points are broken, it should be replaced. I can't exactly tell from the pic.

 

from the pic it looks like power steering.
than i wanna say its the pully, but i see the pully in the back.
the pic is too close.

I know its not an engine mount. what the heck is it

 

Its the mount that is mounted to the AC bracket that is mounted to the motor.

 

That driver-side, lower mount looks ok. maybe the rear mount is causing it to happen.

Did it start to happen shortly after the clutch job?

 

The rear mount is fresh. This is my first Integra Ive owned. Other than that I used to drive my ex girlsfriend ITR all the time. Everytime I shift, it sounds klunky like her ITR. My impression are that non-ITR's were quieter.

Its really hard to describe the sound. Not sure if its my mentality toward Non-R's.
