It just didn't feel right when shifting or accelerating, and I'm glad it wasn't clutch related.

I'll have to order a new bushing, but is it safe to drive like this? The OEM is still in my garage.

Also, is it possible the the mount is probably damaged after a week of driving on it?

You can determine that when you take it out.

I drove like that for a bit, the mount seemed fine. My front bushing was completely missing and the rear was damaged. I suspect you'll be fine until the new bushing arrives.

I may need to take a look at mine. I've been getting a clunk on aggressive WOT 1-2 shifts.

It felt off, but I couldn't tell if it was a clutch issue. It is definitely noticeable in city driving or when accelerating in the low gears as the heavy clunk does not sound normal. Mine started acting just after I put in a new IC, so I thought I had messed something up.

Its amazing how quiet the car runs now with the new bushings. I literally thought I had an exhaust issue with the way it sounded while accelerating. The old one was dry as stale bread, I wonder how long they last in desert conditions. Also, there's very little sign of damage to the main part of the mount. I was worried that it was damaged with the pounding noise it was making.
