I have the transmission off right now. trying to remove flywheel bolts and found that there is easy movement of the engine. I can move it around by hand. is this normal with the transmission off or do I have a bad motor mount? thanks.

ok maybe I didn't explain myself well. I'm not talking about the engine cranking over. talking about back and forth movement of the entire engine. I can rock it back and forth by hand. normal?

it can rock back and forth a little bit, but if it moves around an inch or more or if they are more then 4 years old then yes replace the motor mounts
