OK well the hell with the pics... i forgot to mention about my motor mount job i did a week or so ago both motor mounts were clear in half nothing was holding the motor in... Afterchanging them my hesitation was gone.. I thought it was something else but bad hydraulic mounts (which I never heard of b4 now) replaced them and nomore hesitation.
