A day early and $100 cheaper
Just got my car back from the shop yesterday after having the radiator core support replaced(don't have the extra time or tools to do it myself) and man is there a big difference. Front end feels a whole lot more stable and my shifting even feels better. I don't know if it's that my whole engine and tranny were moving when I shifted because it was rusted out where the engine mount bolts to the support or if I'm just dreaming things. Anyway I just wanted to say that if anyone has this piece rusted out it is well worth the time and money to get it replaced. Next up time to tackle the knock sensor...

Im confused, did you have the radiator core support replaced or the center support running across the bottom of the engine?
