Hello,

Well, I am at a loss. I have noticed a lot of movement of the engine and transmission on my 83 245 over the last year or so. It kind of bothered me because I had replaced the engine and transmission mounts not much more than a year before it started doing this. Anyway, I just replaced both motor mounts and the transmission mount again this weekend, and guess what...it didn't fix anything.

So, I suppose my question is, does anyone have any other ideas? I can actually grab ahold of the gear shifter and push/pull it side so side and make the transmission move back and forth a few inches (enough to make the exhaust pipes squeek and rattle). Oh yeah, that's another thing. The connection between the pipe and first muffler keeps breaking loose, too.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
