If your engine mount came loose while driving, and broke, how much $ is the repair?

Question

What do you think? It is a Chevy Cavalier, 2001.

Do you think the transmission repair shop may have left it loose after they put in a new transmission? Do transmission repair shops usually take out the engine? Just wondering why the engine is loose all of a sudden?

Answer 1

If you JUST had the trans fixed and there is no mention of bad mounts on the invoice then I think they have a problem. Take it back ASP. Better yet, call them and make them tow it.

Answer 2

Engine mounts are brackets of metal with vulcanized rubber placed in between them. These are very strong and do not fall apart easily. I would respectfully suggest that the mount has been broken for some time and you are just now aware of it. The other possibility is it just broke and was fatigued from years of service. The other side of that issue is the transmission shop should have noticed a weak mount and made you aware of the need to have it replaced. There are three mounts, so have them all checked.  

Answer 3

Transmission shops don't take the motor out but on those kind of engines they have to prop them up or they'll fall out while removing the tranny, listen to first responce call them up and have them come get it.
