  • Motor Mounts

    I need a front motor mount on the driver side for a 1989 Festiva LX wth AUTOMATIC transmission. I understand they are not available as a new part, except for the ones to fit a MANUAL transmission. Could someone please tell me where I could find one as the local yards don't have any Festivas....and does anyone know the difference between the motor mounts for the MANUAL and AUTOMATIC transmissions.......and can I maybe modify a MANUAL one? Thanks

            Maybe so, but everywhere I check they say the rear Transmission mount is the same for both but the front motor mount is different for Manual and Automatic cars..........The Manual ones are available on ebay but nobody has the front one for the Automatic (Obsolete at Ford)........except I did find one today at GreenSalesCompany.com for $70 (arrives Wednesday).......lots more than I wanted to pay, but what the heck.....need the part and haven't even been able to find a used one to date.
