    Hi Del Mar,
    We had Riverview fix it. We did not have the tools to either jack the engine around with 3 loose mounts OR lower the subframe, which I thought would be risky with the car on ramps and not a vehicle lift.

    I think you will need to remove the mount and put the engine bracket back on.
    Once that is done, you have to choose weather to loosen all 3 mounts and jack the engine around to get the mount back in
    OR lower the subframe - 4 big bolts and 4 of the 8 smaller bolts on those diagonal struts. Leaving the diagonals on may help with realigning the subframe, but I don't know what happens to the steering shaft when the subframe is lowered. There are 2 alignment holes near the 2 big subfame bolts.
    Others in that mount thread claim to have got that bracket in and out, but... it looked really hard to me.

    I did add a final note to that thread and it sounds like your original mount failed worse than ours did. We got our replacement from rockauto dot com

    Good luck - Rich

    Hey Rich,

    Did you by chance get your rear motor mount installed? Is there any special tricks? The reason I ask is that I replaced my clutch and during the removal of the transmission the rear motor mount fell to pieces. like an idiot I removed the motor mount bracket installed the motor mount and there there is no way I can get the bolts back in for the bracket with the mount in the way.

    Funny you live in Mesa AZ, I live at Stapley and Main.

    Thank you for your time,

    Del Mar
