Like the others who have posted, I’m having trouble believing a broken motor mount would cause it to jump out of gear, but I suppose it’s remotely possible. That notion, coupled with the fact your guy wants $1000 for what is a relatively easy job (certainly not a "huge job" in my mind), makes me think you should either just do it yourself or find somebody else to wrench on it. A lot of "mechanics" that say they will work on these old motors seem to always charge extra just because it IS older.
