Thanks a bunch guys. Ill change all the mounts for safety sake. Is it a DIY job? or is it a major pain (Palm off to the mechanic style)??
Pretty easy, on a petrol. Take the airbox out to make some more room and you're good to go. A piece of wood under the sump and trolley jack to take the load and you're away.
The driver's side mount is different for a RHD I believe, but it's probably fine anyhow - the passenger's side cops heat cycles from the exhaust and fails because of this.
Check out Wooders, then Rockauto for the engine mount. Think mine worked out to about $15 delivered from Rockauto as I ordered a bunch of stuff from them.

Yes the mounts are different but you can use the same mount in both sides, the bracket has the holes already in it and they line up at least in a pre-update they do....
Hi guys, I replaced my transmission mounting about a year ago. The transmission was hitting the bash plate. Took me ages to eliminate other sources.
Anyway, some time after I got an OME lift. Only about an inch higher than stock (1998 upgrade) but it looks like the gap between my bash plate and the transmission is only about 7-10mm rather than 15 and I get a bit of a knock when I go over a spoon drain at speed.
Does the gap narrow with a mild lift or has my new mount sagged (I could have bent the bash plate but it looks pretty straight)? I replaced an engine mount previously, hopefulyy that hasn't gone??
