Re: MK2 Motor Mount Help

[Keith Fullerton <kefullerton@yahoo.com>]

You need to have the rear transmission mount off and if you have the
brace (I'm sure there's a more tech name for it...EKTA calls it
"support for front axle") that runs under the transmission and mounts
at the control arm bolts you need to remove it (or just take out the
drivers side mounting bolt and loosen the other one and lower it out of
the way) so that the tranny doesn't hit it on the way down.
