If you broke a tranny mount due to one Stall test there is something wrong with your car. Most likely motor mounts have too much play.

FYI a Stall test is when you put the car in gear and hold the petal at WOT and ou check for torque converter function and you see if the transmission has any slippage. It happens daily in dealerships and transmission shops all over the world. I have done it myself a great amny times. I have never broken a newer mount. I have finished off a couple of older ones but never a new one.

If he leaves the broken mount alone what will stop the tranny from smacking the floor at WOT?

Well I did that test AFTER I broke the mount. I was doing that thinking that I broke a motor mount and not the tranny mount but the motor didn't move at all. So I drove home, jacked it up, and pulled the tranny mount. Sure enough, it's in half HAHA

Massey was saying to stop breaking mounts by getting the torque bar converter.

You forgot something there Gorn...standing on the brake pedal. That's a tiny important step to keep the car from going through the garage wall.
Jeeeez Chaotic, are you beating the crap outta your car or what?
