69 Euro + shipping is less than the US price of $200.00 plus tax.

I wonder if the one on German ebay is NEW or reconditioned? They are often sold as reconditioned.....since its only new block rubber "fused" joining the 2 plates that needs replacement; same as motor mounts.

I bought one last month on a German E-bay site for 69 Euros. It looks new. The shipping was 15 Euros. The mount is easier to install after you remove the metal tunnel cover and can be done from the top. It can also be done from under the car but the two upper bolts are hard to reach. I have pictures on the old Kodak and will post later.

Charles, were you getting a vibration from the misalign of the drive shaft v tranny mount, or did you replace the mount just for general purposes? I understand as the rubber deteriorates on the tranny mount, it puts the tranny lower and out of straight alignment,,,often causing a sound or vibration, often detected as you drive.

Jim: I noticed a vibration when I engaged the clutch with the old mount. As soon as I take a test drive I will know the effect of the new mount. The old one was in such bad shape it came out in two pieces. I also changed the transmission fluid with some new ATF.
