trans. mount question

Is it ok to take a 2 and a half hour drive with a broke transmission mount??????

please help. I am suppose to leave tomorrow and i have no time to put my new one in. (my energy suspension polyuerothane mount can today, but i have no time to put it in............i was hoping it was going to come yesterday.......oh well)

anyways. So i was wondering if it would be ok to drive on it tomorrow for the 2 1/2 hour drive there and then return the same way back home......again 2 1/2 hours????

thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!

yea, Faceless said some good advice

As long as ur aren't hearing that horofic THUD, ur not going to hurt anything. Stay under 2000 RPMs getting of the line, so u keep ur torque down. ease into the throttle and ur fine.

Yes like they said you should be fine if you take it easy. I dont see why you just dont swap it out with the new one though..I can't see it taking more then a half hour start to finish.
