No one knows why 2g 7bolts walk so often, and no one probably ever will.........

I dont know about that. 2g's have 3 tranny mounts so it is definatly supported well. The only thing I could manage to think of out of that info is if the place you read that from meant the engine has a lack of mounts. I could see the crank being forced up by the weight of the engine pushing down on it while attached to the tranny considering there is only 1 motor mount on the engine (drivers side). Then by the crank pushing up it crushes the upper thrust bearing and while pushing in the clutch it moves the crank over and crushes the sides also. There for the crank is just flopping around in there. This is the only thing I could think of but if that was the case I think a lot more cars would have it.
