Frank,
Thanks for this input also. I will check this and the tranny mounts
tomorrow when changing the oil. I know the engine is mounted on the front
axle via 2 mounts utilizing hard rubber bushings. It will be very easy to
check for broken mounts when changing the oil tomorrow. I am assuming to
just check these 2 mounts for any visible signs of cracks/breaks? I will
also try to engine revving tips. Last time I checked them, they appeared to
be rather beefy and built really good out of 3/8"(atleast) steel plate, but
I will check them anyways. Thanks again,
Kyle
