SlickGT1 is on a distinguished road
Engine mount, right driver side as suspected.

Went by my friends shop to help me diagnose if my mounts are dead. So it turns out my pussy footing the throttle while in drive and on brakes is not the way one should test.

So he looks at me and tells me to get it to about 2k rpm, quick jab throttle to load it up, followed by another jab. I'm like ok, stand to the side. I nail the gas and my driver side mount is shot. The engine pops out a good 3" on driver side with a loud thud. In reverse, solid. Yay, mount gave up totally.

He tells me to replace just the one mount, what do you guys think?

I was thinking both engine, and trans mount at same time.

If someone will try this diagnosis, be smart and stand to the side of the car while someone puts car in drive, holds brake, and punches it. I'm not responsible for your stupidity.
