I sent a post yesterday concerning this noise which ended up being a trashed Trans. Mount. (BTW: Auto Trans)
FCPGroton wants $13, plus S&H
Volvo wants $132

Two questions:
Any problem with driving it like it is? I'm driving more gently.
Is there any reason to think that the Groton part will fall apart? Anyone have any experience with this part?

I will fix myself as soon as I get the part. Anybody know of anywhere in the Clearwater FL area that might carry it. I sure would like to fix it tonight.

    FCPGroton part still cost a third of Volvo part even with next-day-air charges.
    Easy repair, part fit perfectly. Old one was trash: too much oil and AT fluid can deposit there.
    Thanks for the resource.

    Hey look at it this way - you can replace the mount 10 times using the FCP part and still be money ahead compared to the Volvo part. No brainer.
