Re: 2002 SAAB V6 - loud clunk/scraping noise when put in reverse.

Aside from the mount near the belts, there are 3 others.
- One is behind the engine, just about dead center, way down low. It tends to not fail as much as the others.
- There is one under the battery or the fuse box, that supports the transmission
- Finally there is a torque rod (a/k/a dog bone) under the front of the car. It also supports the transmission.
I have changed the one near the belts and the one under the battery myself a few times; they are not hard to do but you need patience and may have to fight some of the bolts loose.
My Indy replaced the rear lower one and dog bone when he replaced the subframe bushings. I expected they were tougher to get out with corrosion on the bolts.
If you can find them, RM Hutchinson is the OEM manufacturer.
