Its the mounts probably the rear mount.

Any idea of the potential cost and adverse effect of leaving it like that for a bit?

shouldn't be too much for the part. labor is whats gonna get you. unless you do it your self.

[lowandslowcb7]

does it vibrate when in park as well?

[CB7NOOB310]

nope doesn't vibrate in park only in drive at stop idle.. and I heard theres a cheap mount and a really expensive mount is that true?

[lowandslowcb7]

you could always source one down from a junk yard and do an insert or use some liquid poly. That would probably be the cheapest option. Have you looked at them yet?

[CB7NOOB310]

honestly no I just traded yesterday but im going to look at them this weekend and I want to have a general of what to look for you know? I have a toddler so I honestly don't wanna cheap out you know?

All Accords equipped with automatic transmissions used an electronically controlled rear engine mount to reduce low frequency noise and vibration. The mount contained 2 fluid filled chambers separated by a computer controlled valve. At low engine speeds, fluid is routed through the valve damping vibration. Above 850 rpm, fluid is routed around the valve making the engine mount stiffer.

So what's your idle set at? if that's good then check and see if your electronic controller is faulty.

Actually the mount is expensive. $150 or so and it is a pain to get to.

That's if you buy the mount brand new, and if your going do that might as well go with some solid mounts. The mount really isn't that hard to get to the hardest part is jacking the car up

Didn't even realize this. From what I've read though, he should be able to switch to a regular mount, correct?

My car was doing that before and the problem turned out to be a disconnected engine mount solenoid. Maybe yours is broken or disconnected. Not sure if that helps but thought I'd throw it out there.

If you're getting a brand new one from Honda then yeah it'll be a hundred or something.. but i just checked, an Anchor brand rear mount for an AT is only $54 bucks.

If you were near Cincinnati, i'd be able to get one for you slightly cheaper since i work at a Smyth Parts Plus.

Not sure, but I'm sure you could but I would think that would make it vibrate a lot. I could be wrong though.
