Motor Mounts

[jayhood26]

Three out of my Four motor mounts are no good so i have to get them replaced i was wondering if anyone has gone through this and if they do not mind me askin how much was it for the whole job

[VA_LANCER_RACER]

Got mine for about 100 fromt he dealer, got the front and the rear one. Didn't get the sides.

:twisted: I did 3 of mine exept the back one it was like 50 a piece but I had a hard time on the tranny one I had to cut the top of the bolt to get the mount out the pointy part of the bolt :twisted:

[Livn2sk8]

My front tranny one was easy to do, only problem I had, was my socket slipped off the bolt, and the bolt fell INTO my frame....yeah, this sucked, took me about 30min. with a metal coat-hanger to get it out...

I want to fill the rest of them, I heard about some "Window Adhesive" or something. Does this really work? Any Pros/Cons? Is it good to go ahead and do ALL of your mounts? or would that make the engine too stiff, causing too much car vibration?

[VA_LANCER_RACER]

yeah the stuff is called window weld its made by 3m. I did this and was happy, little wheel hop but the vibration was increased, I could live with it though

I dont know if Ripp was making polyeurethane mounts for the 7g yet. Maybe contact them.

I would change em myself if i had the tools but it usually cost me 40-50 bux. Oh by the way since we are on the subject of motor mounts, check this out>>>>>>>>>>

Very easy to get the mounts out, the back one takes a lil bit of twisting to make it come off but its an easy job. My mounts where cracked I opted to wedge in some compressed plastic and fill them in with adhesive. But if ur lookin for a cumfy ride go buy new mounts.

Total cost $6 =]

my front left one went bad which messed up the pulleys and belts. replaced it and wow what a difference. no more squealing. and i can hardly tell that the car is on. well its not as loud as it was before. going to change the other two. the front and the rear. forty something bucks from autozone. sixty from R&S Strauss.

Had my motor mounts and tranny mounts replaced (all of them) for $300 or so at a Mitsu dealer...

[smonijhay]

I let my mechanic handle mine. He did a good job and charged me about $100

[Cheenoh]

<span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'>B</span>oth my rear and left motormounts are cracked, the Mitsu dealer quoted me around $400.. I think they're trying to rape me!

[JiP]

Yep thats a raping.

[bronxbombr]

damn dude thats not a rape, it consentual since u let him bend u over to put it to you. Next time try to look for the cheapest first, go to the dealer as a ultimate last resort.

Hey, why not Do It Yourself!!!

Takes about 5-10 minutes for the driver side upper mount, about 5 minutes for the front tranny mount. All you need are your basic tools, socket set, maybe a breaker bar or something for leverage. VERY easy to do, all you need is a jack to hold up the engine, do one mount at a time, so there is not that much stress on the engine, and WhaLA!!! CHEAP to do...and easy. I had no Idea how to do it, but I did, and my engine doesn't vibrate or anything now....

[JiP]

Ye its really not hard to do, I did all mine without using a jack either. As long as you do one at a time, some people whose other mounts are really screwd will have to use the jack cause the other 3 busted mounts just wont fully support the block to keep it at the hight to allow you to reinstall the 4th mount.

[Cheenoh]

Three of you guys are in Bkln/Bx, can you recommend a reputable local shop that can do the install.. Would they be cool with it if I bought the parts on my own then have em put em in?

[Cheenoh]

<span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'>W</span>ell, I finally did it.. here's the breakdown..

Left & Rear Motormounts (OEM) $134
Labor (local shop) $80

This even remedied the hard shifting- and I thought my transmission was going! (knock on wood..)

[JiP]

I live in brooklyn, but I havnt taken any car I own to a shop in years...I just do it myself =D
