Motor / Trans mounts - All at once or as needed?
Got some slop in my drive train, thumps on and off the gas. Should I do all 5 mounts or just the snub or should I go take a look and try to see if one in particular is bad?
Thanks!
Thanks!

imo on/off gas movement is a snub problem....
i replaced the snub during a timing belt change at 150K. it got rid of the problem. i didn't do the engine/trans mounts until 220K during a clutch change. only thing they cured was my exhaust alignment.

I disagree with the statements below - snub cleaned things up a bit, but shot motor mounts
can make drive train feedback absolutely terrible. New mounts make a huge difference, and are incredibly simple to do. If you still have the stock mounts on there, I think you'll notice a huge difference in shifting and feedback - I did.
