I would think that if the front trans "nose " mount were going bad, you would
be having shifter trouble. I only say that because it would be trying to
fall. I never really looked at the 2 cars I have here with AT, but I thought
somebody in the NW had one fail. I think it was before Parma? These mounts are made
of unobtainium, and I think Leon had one fail too, but he did something to
fix his. I just don't remember what it was.
