Motor slanted
I just noticed today that my transmission mount's polly filling has been breaking off and falling out of the mount. I dont know how long it's been like this but I was wondering if there are any negative effects this can have on the motor/driveability. The transmission is sagging slighty and its enough to notice that the motor itself is sitting slanted.

Left to right. The transmission side is lower than the timing chain side. I had the crossmember mounts replaced with ES ones at about the same time as the tranny mount, but I dont see how I could mess this up as it's pretty straight forward.

It has got to be the tranny mount if it's sagging at the tranny side. I havent removed the mount so I dont know if it's completely bad, but I can see the polly crap has broken up and is being squeezed out in chunks. I guess I'm off to the Upick yard on monday for a mount...

i put in a used mount and it works fine.
yeah you can get a new one for $65 but a used one will run you about 10 and they usually dont go bad in "normal" maximas driven by old folkies who drive it like a caddy.

Maybe you want to spend the extra money on new mount for a 10 year old car but I'm going to have plenty of "ease" of mind with a good used mount.....
