Noticed definate problem while under car ...
2 weeks ago, while using a buddy of mine's pit to intall my Centerforce clutch, I noticed something odd.
The corner of the bracket that protects my slave cylinder is pushing through my floor pan. There's a mark on the floor pan, and I can see the interior's gray carpet, also the paint is won off on the corner of the bracket. As I looked at it (car obviously sitting still), it seemed to be sitting in the right place.
This makes me think ... could my motor or tranny mounts be bad, and when I accellerate push this thing through the floor??? If so which ones tranny or motor?
I wanted to take the bracket and grind off the corner while I had it down, but forgot to until I had the whole thing back together.
Do you guys see this as a serious problem?
Please let me know what you think.

Sounds like your left side (driver's side) motor mount is shot. Check that one as it's the most probable cause. If you need to change it, might as well change them all (both motor mounts and the trany mount too).
