Thank you Mr. Fix, what a fantastic fount of knowledge you are.
So I didn't think about how many varieties there may be and didn't know that there were 2 door Sports. But to be as precise as I can, mine is a 1998 Suzuki Sport JLX trim, 4-door, 4wd, 5 speed manual transmission, USA model. I am looking for the front mount, that is Part #5 on the diagram.
However, when I look at that diagram, I may have been fooled by the way my mount looked. I checked for a mounting bolt that would join #6 to #5 but couldn't feel or see one and when checking the mount with my fingers it appeared that #5 and #6 were one piece. If I'm missing the bolt that might explain the problem and I may in fact have the correct part. I'll go and crawl back under the car, take some photos in case they are needed and investigate the bolt and mount further. It is also possible that I need the rear mount, Part #1.
My transmission seems to have been moving around a bit, I noticed during an underbody check the other day that the metal collar of the transfer case shift lever has been bent and the transmission seems to move more than I would expect.
Incidentally do you know if anyone has looked into parts availability in Poland? There is at least one company there that makes all kinds of suspension parts and lift kits parts for the late 90's Sport (Euro Vitara, available there with a little V6 and a diesel variant that makes about 10HP but LOTS of torque, not sure they even got a 4 cylinder) and they seem quite common and popular in that part of the world.
