So I thought there was an issue with the new terminator clutch because once it went in this popping and squeaking started up as the clutch engaged in 1st gear or on hard shifts. I got under the car yesterday and saw a spot where the drivers side long tube was banging against the floor pan. I got a flash light and could see a crack in the rubber of the driver's side mount. To make matters better, the engine has dropped on the driver side enough that the header is getting gauged by the frame(hopefully it hasn't caused a small leak). So I need motor mounts.
Should I get factory replacements or prothane/energy? Is one better than the other? Also, I need to move the engine up a bit on the drivers side to get a little more clearance between the steering shaft and one of the long tube primaries. How high will the engine sit with the new mounts? I wasn't sure if afermarket was higher or lower.
Finally, how hard will the install be? With the long tubes on, is it something I can accomplish in the driveway or should I take it in somewhere?
