Hi all,

My engine mounts are on the way out as I noticed engine vibration a few months back. Also the clutch fan is sitting lower in the fan shroud - possibly dropped 10mm or so and the fan has even begun rubbing on the bottom of the fan shroud.

New mounts are on order and I will change them out this weekend, providing I can crack the 17mm bolts, I have already tried- they are in really tight!

A new issue has risen in the past few days. When I engage reverse, it goes in no problem but when I begin to drive in reverse (slow or fast) it is making a grounding noise, as if it isn't engaging correctly or something is misaligned.

Could it be possible that my engine/transmission has dropped so much that they no longer align up correctly to the drive shaft?

Transmission fluid and filter is clean (changed 30k ago) and fluid levels are good. Drives absolutely perfect in forward.

Any suggestions are appreciated.Thanks
