Thanks to Northwest Mini for fixing the blown motor mount on my 2005 MCS! (common problem on '05 and '06) Another member here with an '06 had the same issue...took em about 2hrs to have both cars done and we're back on the road! All covered!

Glad to hear that it was fixed! I know that MikesMiniRox has had one if not several replaced as well. Auto-Xing and other hard driving events will wear it out faster than usual Have you ever thought about adding an Engine Damper? http://www.psmini.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1117&KW= Damper Edited by YakiMini - March/13/07 at 3:33pm |

If you get an engine damper, get the one from Texas Speed Works. Much
better engineered brackets. Mine works great. |

I agree about the engine damper. Not only does it slow the wear
on the motor mounts, is cuts the torque steer, smooths out shifts and
generally makes the car smoother/easier to drive. I have shoe's
damper, and it was a BITCH to install. TSW's brackets really make
the damper a snap to install and maintain. Though the brackets
make the damper work harder, it is easier to maintain and adjust.
I can barely touch mine, much less adjust. Go for it - if you
regret it, let me know and I'll take it off your hands if you get the
blue one. Pat
