Ford 5L1Z-6068-AA Engine Support Insulator Assembly

Check for relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame by using a large screwdriver or pry bar to attempt to move the mounts. If movement is noted, lower the engine and lighten the mount fasteners.

Insert a large screwdriver or pry bar into the space between the transmission and the crossmember and try to pry the transmission up slightly. You can also insert a pry bar or large screwdriver and try to lever the transmission up and down. If the transmission is easily moved, look closely at the rubber insulator part of the mount; it's probably torn or cracked and must be replaced. The transmission should not move away from the insulator much. If there is any separation of the rubber, the mount is worn out.
