engine still jumping after engine mounts replaced

Postby Dirtbag » Mon Oct 29, 2007 1:20 pm

Had engine mounts replaced, and noticed the other day that coming off the throttle at almost any speed/rpm I can feel the engine still jumping, and did a hill start the other day, as i engaged the clutch split seconds before i released the handbrake there was this huge clunk. And now ive noticed if car is restrained in anyway, brakes/handbrake and i release the clutch till it just starts to engage there is this horrible clunk and the engine jumps. It sounds like its coming from the left of me in drivers seat, so towards the gearbox. I had the clutch replaced start of this year with genuine TGP parts.
What could be causing the engine to still jump around with all the mounts there? And wat the hell is that deathly clunking wen i engage the clutch

I would check the engine mount bolts are nice and tight, I ran into a similar prob after getting my clutch done, was hard to spot untill i got someone to rock the motor while i looked. the mount was sitting on the bolt with about 1 mil between the pin going through and the bracket it sat in

Guy from work went for a drive around the block before he realised his engine was held in by only 2-3 of finger-tight bolts...good job batman :lol:
