Thanks to everybody that replied. Got the job done...just lifted the motor from the trans as suggested. Worked like a champ.

Those mounts were a bear to get bolted back in...I had a hard time getting the bellhousing bolt holes to line up on the cross member with the new mounts...had to fiddle with it for a long while but eventually got it done.

I've been experiencing some shuddering/vibration when taking off in first gear and in reverse. I pulled the dust cover and had a look at the clutch and it looks dry and has plenty of meat. I'm hoping that was due to those rear mounts being mushroomed out and oil soaked.

I guess i'll know pretty soon!
