Jim,

excellent, i will perform this check. it is automatic so i will zero in on
the rear mount. by the way, is that rear mount on the top or bottom of the
engine? i got a feeling its on the top.

I think i did replace the transmission fluid on this car, and yes i drive
straight to the dealer for the honda brand fluid.

thank you.
tom
