I did the 3M window weld over July 4th weekend and I noticed a decent difference. I think at least one other mount is bad, so it still jerks on shifts. I know its working some because the car doesn't jerk when putting it into D4 from park or neutral. Previously it would feel like the engine was about to drop out of the car, and sometimes even stall out.

I wish I could make it red

Should there be any harm in taking off all three trans mounts at one go? I mean would this cause any excess stress on any other components?
I need to do this sooner than later! as the typical story goes my rear trans mount is totally shot and the front two are pretty weak

personally, i drove with out a rear mount. your shifting will be very very harsh. also hard accelation will force lots of wear on axles, other mounts and other components.

i wouldn't drive wit out a front mounts. there will be alot of movement of the motor.

You can take all three off at once, it's probably best to keep a jack under both the front of the engine and the transmission. That should also make it easier to re-install after they're filled.

Allright, thanks for the tips! right on i'll have keep this in mind and knock this off asap. So baking the poly filled mounts for 15-20 min after you let them cure for a day should be sufficient for putting them back on?
What's the minimum safe down time before re-install?

I need to do this when I can afford some downtime. How much do the supplies cost?

2 gallons!? You can do all three and have some left over with just one can, which isn't even half a gallon.
