-6bolt motors = 3 engine mounts
-Trannies on 6bolt engines = 1 tranny mount
-7bolt motors = 1 engine mount
-Trannies on 7bolt engines = 3 tranny mounts
</div>
??? Why would there be more mounts for the tranny than on the motor itself? 94-98 Galant/95-99 Eclipse GS-T/Spyder/GSX have a mount on:
-Upper Driver side on left strut apron next to the belts and Cam(s)
-Front engine mount w/ weight balancer on the center member
-Rear engine mount on the sub frame
-Mount for the transmission</div>
those two mounts that are italicized are where the difference is. in the 1gs etc, those mounts are bolted to the engine. but on the 2gs etc, those mounts are moved over 2 or so inches and are bolted to the transmission. so anyone can use a 2g transmission, and everyone can use a 1g engine. since i have a 2g tranny(actually, 7g but same thing in this context) and 1g engine, i have 6 places for mounts, 3 on the trans and 3 on the engine. but in our chassis, you only use 1 of the engine mounts, and 3 of the trans mounts. in the 1g chassis, you use 3 of the engine mounts and 1 of the trans mounts.
