Re: Wisdom from the mount, please? Must replace engine mounts 200 83T

I'd say, off hand, not too tough. I recently did a right side motor mount in about an hour, but nothing went too badly wrong...

I'm not sure what would be in a "kit". As far as I can tell, all I'd get would be two mounts. They are rubber cylinders with a stud sticking out each end. There should be nuts, and maybe even washers on the studs when you buy them. Maybe that constitutes a kit?

You are going to have to lift the engine up a little. I used a jack under the bell housing, but others have other methods. Do one side at a time. Removing the oil filter will make the right side go better, and make a little more mess...

When you did the clutch, did you replace the transmission mount? If you didn't, you probably will have to, as the new mounts will raise the engine, and may start another vibration. Don't mind me. It's just Eyoreism.
