I've been working to replace the throw-out bearing in my transmission and all has been going well until today. Got the transmission removed from the car and supported the rear of the engine with a floor jack. (all jacks stands were being used to hold the car up) Got called away, by kids and family stuff, and discovered tonight that the jack had failed! (I know I know) ANyway, the engine back was sagging about 4-5 inches and was unsupported.
I cant see anything blatantly wrong with the engine mounts up front, is there something I should look for as far as potential damage? Think it will be OK? Neighbors jack stand is under it now.. |

This happened to me on my very first clutch job too Eric. Like Dave, I had a front engine mount go bad soon after. If the front rubber mounts have plenty of life in them, you may be OK.
