Gentlemen;

I need your expertise on this one. I am hoping is something simple but you are the experts.

My 93 fox vert engine stoped when I released the clutch pedal on first gear without pressing on the gas pedal. This was due the clutch cable over extended (need new clutch, other post later). The engine stop and I also lost my break booster in the process (post coming). Now when I start the engine I get a rough noise on the front of the engine. I looked and found out the fan is rubbing with the fan plastic shroud. When I manually turn the fan. I can feel the fans and the shroud rubbing. The fan turns but like I mentioned, but it makes a noise that was not making before. Can somebody let me know what would be my next step to fix this?

Thank again your input is greatly appreciated.

Not an expert but I would be checking the motor/trans mounts, based on your description.

I would agree that the motor mounts are smoked.
