How hard is it to replace your motor mounts?

[4U2H8ME]

The front, side, and trans mounts are not bad to change. The rear one is a real bitch.

[90LXCB7Newbie]

the mount by the t-belt is simple,
the rear mount is under the intake mani, not so fun

the other 2 are tranny mounts....
there pretty simple too

Depends on your skill level, really. Pretty straight-forward though.

Take your existing ones and fill them with urethane. Best bang right there.

ESP Mount for some solid mount. Your car will vibrate abit then normal because the mount is stiff unlike OE

there a somewhat a DIY on this forums for how to install it without taking Intake manifold off. It will take alot of Muscle and Universal Joints

No. Only the one attached to the transmission is a tranny mount. The one in the front is simply a torque mount. It isn't load-bearing. It's easy to change that front one... just be careful not to slip and smack the radiator.

No it's 4, There is a tranny mount. That is next to the passenger side mount(Left side if infront of the engine).

But I did the rear mount totally the wrong way and maybe others did too. If I had just taken off the Throttle body and plenum. And the intake manifold it is really easy.

Take those off, Then get a floor jack and prop it under the trannny boost up the engine. Then take off the bolts on the mount. If you have an auto take out hose going to the vacuum on the mount.

Then take the mount out.

After getting that one in. the left side is kinda annoying I gotta change that one. The front is easy and so is the right side.

Let me know if you need help.

DX/LX 5 spd r. mount is easier to remove than the EX 5 spd and Auto r. mounts, plus it's a much smaller and better design, and it's fillable too. The ESP r. mount uses the DX/LX 5 spd "low" bracket aswell. Urethane is the best way to go like kmart said

ok i just did that test to check the motor mounts, the engine move more that 1"
and i can see the front mount is bad, now should i just change the front first or do all 4 mounts? i saw a set of 4 mounts on ebay like $145 but not sure if its good brand or not, pretty sure it made in china, or should i go like napa or car quest better brand to buy the front mount frist?
any place got some good brand motor mount for daily drive?

a engine lift you help alot on that one. when i do a motor swap thats the first one i put in is the big rear mount. wit the other 3 loose it makes it much easier to move the motor up, down, left, right, when you have the lift. everyone has there own way of doin it tho. way i would do it is loosen the drivers side mount, front mount and leave the tranny mount in place. loosein the long threaded bolts if needed but not all the way. use the lift to help hoist the engine up a little bit, to make manouverin easier. if ur mounts have a inch or more of play it prob the rear mount. as u stomp the gas thats the mount that take most of the load and "twists" the hardest.
