i'll say no, but you won't be applying the power you do have in the most efficent fashion since the rear is now rotating more because the trans is lifting because of the broken mount.

If you know your tranny mount is broken, just replace it and then you will not have to worry about a power loss.

yep and then you wont have to replace tranny thanks to bellhousing busting because of that bad mount.

well i know it's the problem and i have an extra tranny mount i am installing it tomorrow but it just seems like it's got like no power.

do you have to take the crossmember off to replace the tranny mount? or just lower it alittle and take the bolts out that hold the tranny mount or let me know what you guys think is the easiest

I agree....it's not a big deal, and it makes replacing the mount easier. While it's out you can carve off all the sludge buildup on it and give it a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint!

two bolts and one nut, done, metric, 5/8 will fit but sloppy, 14 or 15mm is actual size i forgot which cuz i used neither i just used 5/8, it worked for me the other day installing the th350 in plac eof thm200c
theres plenty of room to get at the bolts and nut under there, block the car up real well and go for it, wont take long, just is grimey messy under there

good luck
