Question...

While you are driving, take your foot on and off the gas pedal. does engine feel like it's lurching back and forth? What you might actually have is a defective differential. I had this with a 91 GTi. I broke 4 engine mounts in 6 months before the problem was properly diagnosed. The shaft down the middle had worn a grove about a 1/4" in either direction and it was causig the engine to shift back and forth everytime I stepped on or took my foot off the gas pedal. This constant ware was breaking my engine mounts. Just an idea...
