Thanks for the great board. Quick background: 9000 Aero daily driver. Bought this 86 to rescue it from sure death by sitting. New clutch with master and TO bearing, new water pump and new tune up with battery made her driveable for the first time in 3-4 years!
I was haveing a little trouble getting into 3rd after the clutch job. A few days ago a girl was test driving it and it quit going into any gears besids reverse and 3rd. Did a little archive searching on this board. Bleed the clutch, checked the screws holding the shifter ball. In the archives someone suggests that the motor mount might be bad. Pulled the PS motor mount off b/c the motor seemed to be torquing quite a bit under load, although the hood doesn't have any marks on it.
The test for the motor mount in one post is"if you can fit your little finger between the bracket and the base, it's ok. If not, the motor mount has collapsed." I can't fit my finger in there, but the part looks just like the one in the pictures I have seen, like on eeuroparts.net

So, what thinks the list? Is the motor mount going to fix my problem? Does it look in the pictures below like my motor mount is bad?
Thanks for the great board. Lots of knowledge here!
