I think I broke my TA mount last night. Sounds like the TA is slamming into the trans tunnel. I'll find out this afternoon when I put her up in the air.
Arghhhh, I just wish ONE of my cars would run for more than a couple of weeks without problem. _________________

Yeah I know how you feel, some days it's like your going to break everything you touch. When I bought the vert it was doing what sounded to that, but turned out it was the tranny mount ripped in two. It's an easy fix though.

| I don't think its the tranny mount, the shifter is jumping at all, and the mount on there is a ES Poly mount, about 2 years old. |

John, the you'd have to like sheer off all 3 bolts to make the actual arm/assmebly hit the tranny tunnel. Otherwise the rubber mount is enclosed in metal, so the torque arm isn't actually going to go anywhere except the 2.5-3" worth of the metal enclosure.
Cake to change though. |

| I MIGHT still have my ES TA mount if it fits your curve TA. There are two styles. |

I prefer to think of it as having a grounded base in reality.

Yep found it, it was the 612.
So I don't know that wipers are a sure thing even for the pros! |
