 I put the rear of the car up on jack stands, and this is what I found:

1) The transmission mount is visibly toast. The rubber is visibly deteriorated, almost split in two.
2) When I fire the car up, put it in gear and let the clutch out, it makes a horrible continuous clunking noise. I had my wife repeat the process while I observed from below (to the side), and it looks like the front driveshaft u-joint is banging against the u-shaped metal plate that surrounds it.

Obviously, I need a new transmission mount. Is Delta the best source?

I'm hoping that's all that is wrong (with that specific issue :-)). Should I be looking at anything else?
