[alfa] 6 Cyl Center Donut

["Mark Manley" <warpomatic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '84 GTV6 has been acting strange. Wobbling shifter, grinding noise on touching
shifter in first. I replaced the front transaxle mounts but no improvment. Pulled the 
exhaust and found half the rubber connection in the rear engine mount was bad.
Pulled the driveshaft since I decided to get the bellhousing out to change the engine
mount and I found the center donut I replaced barely 1000 mi ago was trash. It was 
so bad the bolts were hitting the driveshaft yoke and both yoke and bolts were getting
 eaten up. What surprised me most was that the donut seemed to not be solid rubber,
but have layers of fabric or canvas inbetween rubber layers. Is this the right center 
donut for the GTV6, or did the deteriorating rear engine mount cause the center donut 
to die a very early death?
TIA!
