For a while now I have been experiencing a lot of engine movement when driving. I assumed it was a bad rear engine mount. I was running errands yesterday afternoon, when the Metro just died. I lifted the hood, and to my amazement, all three bolts from my trans mount were... GONE! I got a ride home, and fortunately the Esteem has a mount that uses the exact same bolts. Went back down to the car with a floor jack, plugged the ignition wire back into the coil (it pulled out when the engine fell over), good to go. This morning I was driving and the car died- I never checked the distributor end of the wire! So, the Metros back, but man, that was weird.

It seems that your Metro is also anxious to see more progress on your J18 swap and so it started without you..

Ha-ha! I deserved that. I am debating whether or not I should just get the power steering rack from a late model Metro, rather than mounting the Pathfinder pulley on the narrow edge of the Esteem bracket. |

At least nobody got hurt or the car suffered any damage. Glad you are OK
