[T3] my discovories, and a boo boo.

["Micah" <micah-ra@mindspring.com>]

well, I got under the naughty panther (74 412 square) yesterday, to see if
any tranny mount bolts were loose.. perhaps the cause of the hard shift into
2nd gear under load...   I discovered that on the drivers side, the mount
that extends down at the edge of where the tranny and engine are linked,
seems twisted and bent...  Suppose this is the cause?

oh big giant head???

Where should I look for this mount? will I need to take out the whole
shebang? (eng & trans?)

should I scream now?

also.. on a non-VW note... (sorta) when I bought this car for Jake, it was
so I could get him outta my car..  well... My motorcycle, which I drive
primarily, as it is faster to split lanes through Hollywierd to get to
work... has a boo boo.      I, um..     well...     broke the crankshaft.
Now, I guess I will be driving my VW more than the idea was originally. At
least for a week or so..  ($500!)
ouch
