What the TT catalog said about motor mounts

[vwnuts@yahoo.com (Anthony Pelletier)]

the easiest way to test motor mounts that I've found
is with the car off put it in 1st gear and stand in
the front of the car and push the car & watch what the
motor does while you are pushing on it.  If it flops
around alot pay attention which side the play is
coming from.  This has always worked for me.
