Rear engine/gearbox mounts (G60)

Recommended Posts

Do the rear mounts on the Corrado do anything other than stop the engine falling on the floor ?

 

I am asking because i am debating wether or not to replace these while i have the engine out. I have replaced the front one as i know it handles most of the torque, but i'm not sure if I need bother with the rears unless they are completly perished ?

 

What do you guys think :?:

If they're knackered replace them. You'll know, the engine moves quite a lot - check by putting the handbrake on and lifting the clutch gently in reverse gear. If the engine moves significantly it'll tell you which engine mount is shot.

Thanks for your reply Dr Mat, sadly this is not an option for me as the remains of the old engine is currently hanging from a crane and the new one is half built on a stand. So I can not test them in that way. I would just replace them as a matter of course, but i am trying to salvage what i can of my budget. :?
