motor mounts

[prNonVtec4u]

get the mount and the bracket on the back of the motor, and just pull out everything and leave the plug hanging. youll need to cap off the open nipple on the back of the manifold.

coo man, thnx a lot

Highly suggest you fill your mounts. 1.5 years of abuse on mine, real abuse, and they have gone to hell. If you don't fill them, at least buy new ones.

I used to have all four mounts (A properly placed turbo and prelude mount setup works great, but not for the dsm guys ) and never had any problems.
Then after I installed the traction bars, lost the front mount and left the other three mounts stock, I only got 3 months before the trans and rear mount were both tore.

Now I have all three filled and no issues at all.

I've got a sweet dyno video where my motor is all over the place with the three stock mounts, you can hear the the exhaust clanking around while the motors going all over

As for the original poster, I'd say swap to the lx/dx 5 spd setup in the rear, fill it, and see how it does. If after that there is still alot of movement, fill the sides.

Also, no one mentioned it, but being an auto car, the mounts won't take near the abuse, all your shifts are smooth, there preloaded when you launch, so mainly, the only time they will get stressed, is when you let out of full throttle.
I've actually been looking into built auto trannies and maybe use one in the future, driving a fast auto car is very fun to me, and much quicker to accelerate, with no real shifts or letting off the gas, so be sure to keep us updated on the build.

thnx for all the advice man. i just hit up the junk yard today and got the rear mount of a 5 speed(full mount w/ bracket) for $12 , and on that auto tranny work, i got in touch with LevelTen and a for full build i'll be looking at $2323 w/ me doing the work. what ima do is buy a nice transmission oil cooler and hook that up for now and keep up the tranny fluid changes while i start getting all the components together to build the tranny little by little

Once again, thnx a lot for the recommendations

one more thing, is there a difference between the DX/LX rear motor mount and the EX motor mount?...:confused

[prNonVtec4u]

^^bumpity bump^^

[bjaccord]

Yes, there is.

The dx/lx will be more common, cheaper to replace and possibly stronger. L8r
