Is Impact from a jump, allowing the weight of the motor to flex the mount?

This would cause some misalignment also.

This is what happened when I bent mine. I nosed into the ground and the momentum from the motor bent the mount. To fix mine I clamped the mount in a wood vise. You'll need to be careful and need to have a good idea of where the bend line is. Clamp along the bend line with the motor side in the vise and the bearing/diff side out where you can tap on it. I used the side of a pair of Klein line-man pliers to tap the mount back into shape. Didn't use much force, about as much as I'd knock on a door with. Take the mount out of the vise and place on a flat surface to judge how flat it is. I used the flat surface on the back side of a metal vise.

Before I started I thought my method would be too crude to work. But the mount wasn't doing me any good bent and it would beat buying another one if it worked.
