was: vibrating dash now: installing motor mounts

[rhock99@epix.net (Ryan H)]

Vince, well the side motor mounts you really can't do much aligning to... but for the front mount and tranny mount, refer to the bentley for some general procedures.  Basically, you want to make sure there's no twist in the tranny mount and that the front mount lines up right.
I.E looking at the tranny mount head on (with the car on the ground) (this may look crappy if your formatting isn't that same, but you'll get the idea): 
|       |
|       |      <-Good
|       |

  /      /           /      / 
 /      /     or    |      |     etc.    <-bad
/      /            |      | 

It will kinda squash sideways if it's not aligned properly.  You'll see - it's not that difficult to tell what's lined up and what's not.
