What happened? You seemed to be hell-bent on putting a turbo engine in front of a manual tranny? Are you still heading in that direction? On a 240D, if you have an engine hoist, its almost as easy to pull the engine/ tranny to change all the mounts (not quite, but close). Rick

Since we are on the subject, I need to replace my mounts on my 77 240d, and looking on the ******** website, there is a third mount mentioned, the front engine anti-vibration T-mount. Do I need this? Also, I've seen some threads mentioning that as long as you are in there, you should replace the engine shocks. Does anybody have a good idea of what should all be replaced, as long as I'm in there?

i was talked into a 4x4 by my girlfriend after our last backwoods adventure (debacle). i got our awd honda element stuck. i seem to overestimate the offroad capabilities of anything i am driving...haha. so...i have a 99% rust free 240 d with a manual transmission i picked up for $1500. it has a homemade veggie kit installed (by p.o.) and it runs fine. it is just that either a tranny mount or engine mount is loose...i can feel the play (twist...torque) in the shifter when i accelerate. it did 70 on the interstate on a 2+ hour drive...once i got it up to speed. it is not too pretty on the inside...no big rips but stains galore. i am most likely gonna replace the mounts and possibly the interior and look to at least recoup my money. since my girlfriend is deadset on a 4x4 i am back to purchasing a gwagen...its just so heavy...its a beast. i tried to find a shop that would convert a jeep cj5/6/7/8 to a 617.952...but no luck. i am still loyal to this engine despite attempts by friends to go the vw way.

is the procedure for the 616 the same as the 617 on the motor and tranny mount replacement? on the link above it only lists the 617. is there a more detailed step by step procedure anywhere for us true novices.

The OM616 procedure is the same as the 617. Just be sure you have disconnected the engine shocks ( if it has any) and that mount behind (or is it in front of) the oil pan if it has one. At least on a 240D you can see what you are doing..
