I changed out mind. But..... I broke the center bolt on the botton on the driver side like a dumb ass. So I cut the top off the new on and just installed the botton. But I still getting staking when in drive and a low rpm (~1k) when like at a stop light. Could it be trans mounts?

I changed my driver's side mount a couple months ago, I guess I should try to do the passenger side as well haha, it did make a huge difference though!!

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

Make sure you keep diesel fuel from the primer pump off the mounts, I have a feeling that's why they fail so quickly

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

yup, I second that. Fuel likes to eat rubber, and will wear them out in no time.

I think some sort of a hood or something over the mounts would be good for keeping fuel off of them, somebody should design one and report back here lol

I was thinking more along the lines of a pop can cut in half length wise and then shoved down over the thing and zip-tied/wired into place
