    REPLACING A/T MOUNT vs TRANSMISSION & MOUNT

    I need some advice on this one.

    I need to get my transmission mount replaced (which is a must). I recently changed my ATF which showed signs of metal debris on the bolt plug. I was advised by my mechanic it would require changing the transmission, but I could drive it for now until I decide to change it. I would like to get a 2nd opinion on if I should change the AFT again and see if the debris is still there (maybe it just needs flushing).

    I was quoted: $400 labour + plus seals & fluid for swap. Lucky I have access to a spare A/T.

    Now my dilemma is do I go ahead and change everything: Entire Transmission, mount, seals etc. in order to save on labour cost OR can I just change the tranny mount now and do a tranny swap later (early next year).

    Also are there any factors to consider for the F20A engine and a regular (F22) transmission for replacement.

    the tranny mount is easy. Its not something you need to factor into a big job like a tranny swap.

    What happens when you drive it? Anything?

    Ive pulled metal pieces out of more than half of every car ive ever worked on.

      Getting hard shifting while gears changing and alot of vibraton when car is in "P". Gets worse in colder weather. Mechanic also verified mounts is gone.

      For some reason when in traffic (or driving slow) gears keeps going from 3rd to 2nd when 3 just changed into 3rd for only seconds. Its gets annoying..

        Changing mount will probably help both problems a lot. Hell, you need to change the mount no matter what. Just change it now, put the money for the swap away somewhere, and drive the transmission until it explodes. That's what I'd do.

            So do you guys just purchase oem honda mounts? Or aftermarket?

              OEM for vacuum assisted rear mount on automatics, for manual you can go aftermarket and the sky is the limit. OE replacement or higher end poly.

                  I believe the rear motor mount on autos cost around $160, just a heads up.
