      I'm thinking about doing the subframe, and putting in a manual tranny at the same time.. With BreckAConner's help haha.

        Replacing the main subframe does not require removal of the transmission; the steering rack and unclipping/unclamping multiple power steering lines, yes. Be sure to support the engine if you disconnect the rear mount from the cross member and take the transmission out at the same time.

                The auto to 5 speed conversion mount is $110 from ESP.net and $225 for the whole kit. It's usually recommended to purchase the entire kit, as one stiffer motor mount usually causes the others to take more abuse and fail more often.
                As much as I love ESP.net and have their products, if time is against you, you will be better off with Innovative mounts, as you will receive them much sooner than the ESP.net mounts.

                    You are correct somehow between flipping web tabs my mind lost $50... the correct price is $275 for the full kit.

                      Ouch... I know all my motor mounts are shot though, and I was like, hey might as well since I'm taking out the subframe. LOL.

                      Time isn't a major issue, I'm waiting for nicer weather to do all this.

                          Yes they do. I have it in my Accord. Fitment was fantastic.

                            How much did you pay for them? Did you replace all of them?

                                I only bought the auto conversion mount new lists at $119.99. I purchased the dog bone and drivers side mount from Gary, one of our members here. He used them for maybe 3-4 days then pulled them out. So I pretty much got brand new mounts at a steal of a deal.
