Default done and well

just wanted to thank everyone for their input and assistance. My engine swap from the 98 GP to my 2000 SSEi is done and functioning properly. I have one question, after the engine swap i have a slight clunk when I go from neutral to drive that was not there before. I watched the motor when my dad put the car in gear and the motor moved what appeared to be more than normal. I had never watched the motor before so i dont know how much movement is normal.. I have also noticed that when I am turning to the right and accelerate I hear a slight grinding noise(might be brakes) Other than that car is running great. Thanks everyone.

Take a look down at the front of the transmission and observe the big blobbish looking marshmellow of a mount. Most likely it'* bad. That'* about the most common thing.

You can test it by opening the hood and pushing back and forth on the car while watching the mount. When they go bad..it'* that easy to see it.

We just replaced Sawgunners yesterday with hockey pucks. 3 pucks 7" long 1/2" bolt and a few washers and double nuts to lock it in.

The clunk sounds like a mount.

Check the brakes for wear. Also check the left bearing.
