Engine Mount Failure & TSB

Hiya guys n gals,
Its been awhile since I've even been on the site being busy with work the last year. I got two major problems I need advice on.

A: I just broke past 30,000 miles and brought to the dealer for standard service.
B: At just under 3yr warranty like the week before my coils went and they replaced the front 3. Having read the posts on that I have a feeling I'm in for my problems.
C: Upon bringing it in today I informed them of this weird whirring noise after I cut the engine and they found it to be engine mounts gone bad.
I took a couple of searches and didn't find anything that really helped out yet so please advise. I basically have to fight with them tooth and nail here and since I'm over 3 yrs probably SOL.

Are there TSB's on this? and how do I actually find the TSB that are referred to on the other posts for the coil? SOrry I sound like a newbie again, just can't believe that they want to hit me up for $600 bucks.

D: Reading some posts here I have a feeling that theres more problems ahead for the first run 2000 editions anyhow.

There is a TSB for the issue you are seeing with the engine mount. Its NTB 01-010. If you get a hold of it can you post it/email me.

My feelings are the same as yours on the cost. Is there any way we can get Nissan to do something about this if its a known issue with the car ? Somebody suggested disconnecting the mounts as they are not most critical with an A/T. However, we have payed for it, so it would have been great if they worked.

Wouldn't it be covered by the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty? I would consider it part of the powertrain, but thats just me.

70K miles on my 5spd max and not a single problem- other than wind noise from rear windows last year. Its a 01, and put over 30K miles a year on it.
