dude wtf did you do.

i have NEVER seen that before lol
sorry its not funny but i mean damn.

how hard do you have to shift the motor to snap a mount like that.
you might want to check all yoru other mounts to insure that that one didn't break as a result of a missing bolt on one of the roll stop mounts, or an excessively shot front or rear roll stopping motor mount.

Wow man, hit up a junkyard, it will be cheaper. I have never seen a mount "snap" at all.

If the bushing is destroyed it will happen, guarenteed.

Well i can tell you one possible culprit...... It looks as if you are missing a bolt ......

i was just thinking that when i looked out in my engine bay...
one of his studs is missing.

and the rubber in that mount is flawless.

just go to a yard and get a used mount.
don't buy a new mount, cause you ARE going to install prothane motor mount inserts in place of your stock rubber.

besides, that tranny side mount is always the very last to wear(I have never encoutnered one that had so much as a mark on it)

nah dude 5sp mounts are diffrent from auto mounts this mount is AUTO MOUNT so there fore i think thats why it snapped, i already ordered a 5sp trranny mount, so i will replace it friday, thats the earliest i have time to replace it, i got a brand new one seth for 38.00 from advanced,

i am not missing any bolts is that the pattern is diffrent thats why it look slike that, i think that the tranny placed so much stress on that AUTO mount that it just snapped... lesson learned when you guys do the swaps use everything for a 5sp that includes the mounts hahahhaha, i still can drive it, but ia m careful the way i shift, i cant let the clutch out early...

on a 7g, on my 8G the tranny was the mount in the worst shape basically the tube hold the bolt was not even connect to the rubber around it.

well, a little late, but I have a trans mount I didn't need and couldn't return. If anyone needs, I'm willing to let it go cheap

This is a 1st for me to ever see a mount snap or even heard of a mount snap. WoW..that is crazy :shock:

I would make sure all the other mounts are in good condition though. At least there wasn't any more severe damage done.

[jake26]

yeah i know guys, i am replacing it tomorrow right now i am still driving it but i am shifting like an automatic, taking it very very easy, i dont want to snap anything else, i dont have a second car that i car use for driving, so i have to use this the g. well i am still convinced that this mount had much stress on it that it snapped, i dont shift hard, i promise, and even if i did that should not have had happenened i will keep u all updated.

I just finished and sold off another set of polyuro filled mounts. Working on my third set. I will let you know whats up later on.

[fastmgalant97]

where can i find the polyurethane inserts?

[DOHCstunr]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(fastmgalant97)</div><div class='quotemain'>where can i find the polyurethane inserts?</div>
go to ebaymotors.com
completely replace the two side moutsn with polyurethane(zero stock rubber leftover)
then the front and rear mounts use hard poly inserts that fill in all the gaps.
