Hi,
Just got done with the $1k repair. Spent a lot of time with the repair tech looking over the parts/options, etc. The motor is just a piss poor design.
Mine was so badly torqued out of alignment that even the hose clamp approach wouldn't have worked.
Everybody out there, if you don't have the new, reinforced motor mount (generally in '98 or later models), GET THE REINFORCING KIT INSTALLED ASAP. Otherwise, you're pretty much guaranteed to have to repair/replace it later on.
Good luck!
-Chris
