Default Is my motor mount bad?


First part is in 1st gear and from 0:36 is in reverse. The right transmission mount has some flakes from the mount, but I don't see any cracks. I haven't had time to check the other mounts, but here's a vid. How does it look?


Is the car suppose to surge/jerk when in 1st and 2nd gear light acceleration and also in deceleration? I know my mainshaft bearing is bad, will it cause those symptoms too?

Oh, I thought torque mounts are solid mounts. I'm a noob.

That much movement looks pretty normal to me. You can try carefully jacking up the motor by the oil pan to get a better look at the mounts to see if they're cracked. Use a block of wood on your jack or something so you don't hurt the pan.
