What exactly constitutes 'bad' engine mounts? 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Isaac Babcock on  Thu Nov 15 12:22 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My shifter (M46) has been tilted 2" to the right of where it should be for a while now. I noticed last time I changed the oil that my engine is listing so far to the right of the car that the oil filter was literally resting on the engine mount bracket for support. This leads me to believe that my mounts are bad. Funny thing is, they don't look cracked, and they're definitely not broken in half. Is it possible for one or both of them to be just stretched too far or soft and smashed so that they deform under the weight of the engine so as to cause this condition? They look fine to me! The tranny mount looks fine as well. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for all of the help.
