I have a 66 Monza, of which the engine and 4 -sp trans are  currently out of 
the car. 

I would like to know how to check to see if  the transmission mounts need to 
be replaced or not? Are these know  to fail?  I don't want to spend the $200+ 
if it's something that is  NOT prone to failures. 
===============================================


 The time to check was when the car was together!   They  HANG the engine... 
so, as they fail.. the trans mounts  extend.. usually  on the Drivers side...
 
 The Rear mount [near bumper] should be SQUARED... it it has a  angle to the 
runner on top... it's going going gone!
