when was the last time you looked under your hood. you should probably familiarize yourself with what's under your hood before you attempt anything major.

This is a very easy question to answer all you have to do is go outside, jack your car up and crawl under the vehicle. I'll point you in the right direction.... it's under the front of the car. :lol:

from the front with the hood popped the tranny is on the left, the mount is directly in front of it on the cross bar, then there is another just next to the fender well, passenger side.

on a 95 galant there is 1 motor mount in the front of the engine by the timming belt, 2 roll stoppers, 1 is on the crossmember by the a/c fan on the radiator and the one behind the engine by the fuel filter and the tranny one under the air filter housing.

FYI: If you need, I have a trans mount for an Automatic, still new in the box: $25 shipped (it retails for nearly $60) P.M. me if interested.

All the motors mounts have a circular shape to them.

*Standing in front of the car*

1. On the drivers side strut apron near the cam gear is the upper motor mount. Should be right next to the power steering reseviour.

2. If you look towards the bottom between the exhaust header and radiator you'll see the front motor mount. If you look under the car there is a bar that connects on the bottom of the radiator support to the front crossmember. The mount is bolted to this bar.

3. Towards the back of the motor near the firewall is the rear motor mount. Its bolted on the front crossmember.

4. On the passenger side of the motor bay towards near the bottom section of the passenger side strut apron is the Transmission mount. If you follow the fuse block/batter cable/ harness and trace where it leads to the firewall, it will guide you to the tranny mount.

Remember all the mounts are circular shaped and I hope this helps you locate them.

Heres a visual if your still not sure :P
(Dont make fun of my engine bay, its an old picture!)

And the cool red mounts I have are the Prothane inserts. If you want to be cool like me and dont mine a bit more vibration(Probably more with an Auto vs 5spd), get them!

that helps alot thanks and thanks for all the info now i just need to get to my uncles to use his jack and jack stands

You will need something to support or lift the motor just a bit so you can remove the replace the motor mounts. So maybe a extra jack or if you have a engine lift will do. Good Luck..you should be fine replacing them.

I've used Black RTV Sillicone Adhesive, I couldn't find it in the homedepot but Autozone still sells it....

You want to use an epoxy called Window weld. You can find it at most home supply stores in the US.

small update i had my uncle check them and they are fine, so i dont know if its the motor mounts that are causing my car to idle rough when in Reverse or what

[microgalant]

When I was doing my 5 speed swap,i notice that the front motor mount from a 5speed is smaller than the ones from the automatic tranny,Why?someone know why??

I just changed it and put the automatic tranny motor mount on the 5 speed tranny,and also i saw that the automatic tranny perch,at the back of the tranny,is different.
So i cut it and just let the perch hold on 2 bolt one the gearbox instead of 3.
Now my engine is not too tight.

I have the front and rear 5spd mounts new. Why you cut the perches is beyond me.

[peanotation]

yeah, i dont konw what you did, can't really understand, but the automatic motor mount is bigger, i assume, because the automatic is heavier? i dont know, but the 5spd one is about half the size as you've already discovered....

The rear tranny perch,when i bougth my gearbox it didn't came with with it,
i uses the one of the automatic tranny,it didn't fit,i made new holes in it,so it can bolt on
the gearbox,but it hold on only 2 bolt to the gearbox instead of 3,the 3rd i have to weld
a piece of metal on it.
I don't know if that causes that my engine is not stiff

[peanotation]

engine so stiff? should really try to get that third bolt in or weld like you said...dont want to break anything

[mitsueclipse2019]

could this thread be locked please i have no more use for it

[seth98esT]

lol doesnt mean other members arent still needing help, we are still on topic ;)

Micro: Its probably fine for now but try to get a rear perch from a 5spd gearbox. With only being bolted up with two bolts, theres a chance the mount may break.

And it will break over and over again till it is corrected.

ooh ok,where can i get one?

[bronxbombr]

Junkyard, Mitsu dealer, Stolen G, you do the math. I have the mounts but not sure about the perches.
