ENG: Polyurethane Engine Mount Install

[Bad_dude]

Even though the OEM part numbers for the Auto and manual are different, I wonder if the aftermarket mounts make it the same shape for both so I can use the inserts. Any one has pics of the mounts for both auto and manual? It looks like all of the aftermarket part numbers I looked at for both auto and manual are the same for the torque rod.
Thanks.

I have these installed too. They work so much better than having nothing at all with the extra support + it's made by Energy

IDK who's bright idea it was to have that silly dog bone mount in front anyway - it's such a cheap design because of how easy it is to rip w/ all that extra space.

And YES, the front dog bone mount is shaped differently for AT & MT.

Honda Front Dog Bone Mount:
MT ROD ASSY., TORQUE P/N 50830-SM4-020
AT ROD ASSY., TORQUE P/N 50830-SM4-A81

Energy only makes them for MT last I checked so for any AT wanting this and your mount is shot, buy the MT mount + insert and you should be fine (fitment is the same on the bottom end - correct me if I'm wrong). Oh yeah, as Deevergote mentioned they do come in 2 color choices - red/black.

Is there anywhere I can pick one of these up locally??? I'd pay more to not have to wait...

[accordaffair]

The ones I got weren't for autos. I forced it in there, but I wouldn't recommend doing that.

Has anyone found motor mount inserts for an automatic? It seems that they are all produced for manual transmissions only, or at least i haven't found any.

I got mine today...what time is it? no yesterday, and they were a b!tch! The manual tranny mount must have a different shaped mount, because I have an auto and it doesn't fit properly. I forced it into place (extremely ghetto) If you saw me doing you would probably shake your head and advise against it. But my front mount was ripped and no good, so I just went ahead and did a ghetto-diy. It seems to have helped, so I guess i'm glad I did it. *hint you may want to remove the radiator, and anything obstructing your working area. I didn't...the rat bastard took me 6 hours. Argg it was most frustrating. But it was cheap, what can I say. Cheaper than new mounts, thats for darn sure.

do they make the driver side insert????

thanks for the tip steveB

[Eric91Z]

At least for the front mount, I think it would be very easy to remove the top bolt, look at the pattern of the mount that is in there and compare to the Prelude mounts he has. The design of them is pretty specific and should be pretty easy to visually verify.

[deevergote]

The thing is, if you read, he wants to see if Prelude inserts will work for the Accord mount... Stuffing them in there like that won't tell you if they fit. It'll be a pain in the ass if they don't!

[Eric91Z]

Or, if you aren't doing anything except installing the inserts, just remove the top bolt only, intall the inserts, and re-install the bolt. Took me about 5 minutes once I figured out the correct orientation for installing the inserts.

[deevergote]

Mine are black. I was given a choice when I ordered them. Since I don't like red, black was the obvious choice!

So the Prelude set came with 4 pieces all together? If you remove your Accord mount and try to fit them in, you can know for sure. The lower bolt is kinda tough (as Steve B said) but it can be done. Be sure to get a breaker bar, and remove the radiator fan for more clearance (that's what I did... removing the radiator is even better, if you have the time and patience to do so)

[H23Accord]

Hm...well everyone's that I see on here is red so I thought that the accord set was red and the prelude set was black. Guess not. Thank you for clearing that up. Still wanna know if the prelude set would work though.
