I'm trying to hunt down the reason that my driveline sits between 3/16 and 5/16 too far away for the transmission to connect, and decided to change my motor mounts to see if it would make a difference. lifting the motor up seems to kill a good deal of the gap.

however, when jacking the engine up (under the oil pan) using a transmission jack, i found that one side takes substantially more lift to get the mount out than the other. the passenger side of my m50 (ie, side with the a/c compressor) took a great deal more lift to get the mount clear than the driver's side (alternator, ps pump). as in, the fan clutch was way above where the radiator's top would be. is there a possibility that something is broken and that the support for the engine/transmission is sagging to one side? it sure does not look like it. anyone have experience changing motor mounts on the m50? thanks.
