So on Saturday, I changed out the trans mount. It was in 3 pieces. This is at just under 77K. The #3 passenger mount was done 20K ago.
Now on Monday, I got a call from her that the engine had bucked like it does sometimes, but it was much harder and afterward the was hearing a noise. I have driven it some and what I am getting is this: Upon startup, there is a bit of noise that seems to come behind the center firewall. If I still had the old mount on, I would not hear it.
When driving, when you drop the clutch to shift, you hear a scraping/rattling sound that really is only audible when shifting over 2500 rpm. It is louder the higher the rpms and sounds very metallic. It subsides as the rpms drop with the clutch in. It does not seem to do this if you leave it in gear and let off the throttle. I got on the passenger side and I actually couldn't really hear anything, or at least not compared to the drivers side.
Tonight I got under it and had my wife start it and I did not hear loud noises, but I thought that maybe I heard some looseness in the block.
So whaddya think? Am I throwing away this engine???
