[Mg-t] Touchy Clutchy

[Blair J. Weiss]

Bill -
I have to agree with Bob Grunau... although, the words motor mount is sorta 
a misnomer... in other words, the mount that connects the transmission to 
the crossmember. Often times the casting on the transmission will crack 
where the clevis goes through, it's a very common problem.
