I found the method of filling upper mount with silicon by searching this board. According to the people who did this 'fix', it lasts a long time. But the fix was done with engine in car, and mounts on engine. Now I kinda suspect it holds the engine at a position that slightly different from what is held by a 'real' mount, which adds effort required on the gas pedal -- not sure if I made myself understood.
The clutch seems to be ok, no burning smell, engine speed matches road speed, and I can't get the car move from still in 2nd gear (I had one car with slipping clutch a while back, it would move from still in the third gear without stalling the engine). The brakes do not seem dragging. I felt the temperature of the wheels after driving 50 miles on highway, and none of them were hotter than others.
Maybe it's just I am too gentle on gas? All clutches on the car I drove lasts well beyond 150k miles, I never killed a clutch regardless of the mileage. Do you floor the gas frequently?
