Says: ' 00 Ford , Front wheel drive 4 cylinder 2.0I went to a triple A - ASE certified shop for a problem my car had and they said I needed all my transmission and engine mounts replaced. What are ways to know for sure that they are worn out or broken? I just had tranny - engine mounts replaced last year. Think they want to rip me off for a quick pay day.2. Says: a fast look should tell you all you need. if it's worn, it may be needed. the tranny mounts could very well be bad. a bad motor mount will make the others go bad to eventually. if you can't tell by looking . have someone start it, put it in gear, hold the brake and give it alittle gas while you watch the engine. if it moves alittle you're fine (it's supposed to have some give) but it it moves alot, this guy might not have been trying to sucker you.3. Says: get 2nd opinion/maybe the first guy lied4. Says: get a 2nd opinion...also you can lift up the hood and shake the engine if it shakes alot or if your car shakes alot whne ur driving or if its on u may need one..also your car will shift harder becayse the engine will be dropped a bit5. Says: i smell an upsell6. Says: rev it up and if it jumps and bounces they need to be replaced. I dropped my engine cause i held off to long in my 96 ranger 2.3 Tag: How do you know for sure that you need to replace motor & transmission mounts?
