it seems that the rear motor is not attached to the tranny no more. it seems that the bolt has broken off and the housing holes on the tranny is cracked in half. the question i have is whether or not this motor mount problem with damage my car in any way i.e. damage tranny or engine left on the road behind me biggrin.gif . i've been driving it around like that with no problems except for the tranny hitting the motormount. the motor mount is fine its just the bolts broke off and the holes for the bolts are cracked in half.

make sure its the mount and not the bolt threads on the tranny that are not cracked or broken, same thing happened to mine, but only 1 bolt is missing, still have 3 more holding it on!!!! lol this seems to be a common problem with 5 speed celica's.. maybe a weak metal they used for the tranny housing? it seems to happen when ppl redo there clutch or work on there tranny.. if they are not put back on tightly or whatever, they lossen off then thats what puts pressure on the bolts which leads to the threads in the housing cracking or breaking.. most likely a design flaw
