If your engine mount came loose while driving, and broke, how much $ is the repair? & why might it do this?

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?

The engine is almost falling out right now.

Answer 1

Mounts are fairly cheap. It will probly run you $75 to repair it including parts and labor. I don't think the trns shop did this. Mounts eventually get worn and either brake or tear. Good luck.  

Answer 2

Motor mouts are just another part that gets worn out over time and need to be replaced. It could be that when they replaced the transmission, they damaged it, however seeing as your car is 7 years old (almost 8), and it may have never been replaced, I would just take it to a local repair shop and have it fixed. The cost for the motor mount is usually around $50, plus the labor to install it, which will run between 1 and 2 hours.
