i have a vintage speedster with a totally shattered red rubber/plastic transmission mount that i need some advice on. should i replace it with same? car only has 5K miles and its distroyed so probably not, unless its my only option. what would cause such failure? i was advised by a noligable member to replace with a STOCK VW part, but my trans has holes to accept the mount that run 45 degrees to the ground, not parallel to the ground, and i can't find such a lay out. does the engine/trans have to be moved to get new part in place?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
