Is this shagged? Shite advice sought.

A difficult to take pic of an engine mount.  Shagged or not?

I can get my pinky in that gap.  The bottom of the mount seems ok.

Pics of new ones on fleecebay aren't great.

Sorry but that's bolloxed by the look of it. Rubber looks to have split

I ask because I am getting gear stick wobble when ever the car moves.  It used to be pretty bad but has calmed down quite a bit, yet it's still there.

Datsun Almera.

That's what I thought.

Probably broken unless it's the front mount on a vauxhall astra automatic.

Probably sounds about right then. I'm going to stick my neck out and say not a big job so don't worry. And then wait for everyone else to tell me it's a fucking nightmare! Good luck

Definitely shagged. Mrs cav has had an engine mounting break when she was driving in the snow not a good experience apparently!

It's the right mount (not the gearbox side) and looks to be relatively easy.  My only worries are old bolts and the need to prop the engine up.

Here is a link to what I am looking at replacing it with.

I refer to myself as “clever with my money”......

I once wrapped a knackered hard plastic bush in a car's strut top in sellotape to keep it mobile. It was still there months later when I sold it.
