Stan, the front tranny mount rubber, is it eccentric?
---------------
The round mount is steel, the rubber in the center will get soft and
drop. The rubber should be supporting the tranny and it shouldn't be
noticeably off center.
I'm hoping that you got a good look at the fingers supporting your throw
out bearing, they can bend, wear and it will cause the clutch to behave
strange .......... like it is skipping until the spring plate is fully
contacted with the disk.
