Yes, the transmission on these cars only has one mount and it's under the tailshaft ~ make _sure_ he understands he needs to replace it at the same time .

They degrade over time, moreso if the driveline isn't kept clean of normal weeped out engine oil and ATF .

It used to be that Mechanics didn;t like it when you brought your own parts but now a days there's too much cheapo Chinese and worthless Uro parts so they'll often accept Customer supplied parts although don't expect any warranty if the *part* fails Vs. if they do it wrong and something else goes amiss .

This is why I prefer to source my own parts ~ I flat refuse to cut corners on parts and many Shops don't really care .

Keep us posted ! .
