Driving on a Broken Tranny Mount

Will this do anything to my car its my daily driver, and I was told my tranny mount is broken which is a 19$ or so, and when i get on my car is only when it starts banging really hard on center console. Will it hurt my car driving on it if I take it nice and slow.

Thanks for any replys

You definatly want to get it fixed soon but as long as you take it really easy, you should make it until you can get it fixed.

A LOT of bad things. U can damage the shifter from causing the trans to jump around, u can dislodge the trans, etc. Just be careful. I broke a couple of stock mounts and just accelerated VERY slowly until i could get it fixed. I bought the $50 1LE mount and haven't broken it since.

$30 now or several hundred later, your choice. Should be a no brainer, especially for something that will truly take no more than 30 minutes to fix.

I drove around with one broken for 3-4 months and it didn't hurt anything I know of. I just took it easy, I didn't like it when my tranny hit the floor.


Yea yea... I know I am lazy, I finally decided to jack it up in the street and get it fixed.
