difference in rear mounts

[Vtechno]

The EX and Lx (dx too?) have a different rear engine mount. Anyone know the reasoning? the ex mount looks like itd dampen better, but was it really necessary to make a completely different mount?

ones for luxury(automatic) ones standard. its a vacuum actuated viscous damper. Basically if you were chugging up a long steep grade, itd loosen up so not to transmit vibration to the cabin, then when you get on it itll stiffen back up. I do away with it entirely.

dea motor mounts makes them all..

DX Standard Tran
A6544
EX Standard Trans
A6587
Automatic Trans Solenoid Valve
A6547

If I read my service manual correctly, it only loosens up below 1000 rpm to limit vibration transmitted to the car at idle.

ahhhhh.... i wasnt aware the cb7s came with the A6587. though only the cd's did. that makes sense but my question still remains. whats the different between the ex standard and dx/lx standard?

appreciate the info though. it makes sense. well not really, but in 1993 im sure it did. haha

The EX 5spds use a different rear bracket that calls for the taller mount. To be honest, its a pain in the ass. I went as far as ditching the EX bracket and mount on mine and replaced it with an LX/DX bracket since the mount was such a bitch to get out.

Car drives the same and idles a lot smoother with less vibrations
