Engine mount question!

[tbui]

my mounts must be f***ed cause every time im shifting i feel the engine jerk really hard. would it be the same if i just pulled the mount out and filled it with a polyurethane filling? like caulking? i dont feel like spending 200 for new mounts. also anyone got a 5 spd tranny for my 01 mp3?

thanks

I'm not getting your question. Are you asking if any bolt will work with the stock mount? If so I would have to say yes. I don't remember using new ones.

right. the awr doenst come with a bolt. we just resused the stock stuff. so i dont get the question either.

Did you check all of your mount? When I put mine in I found that not only was the front torn but so was the right side. We looked at a P5 and an MSP and so were theirs. I bet you tore the sides and rear. If so installing the front only wont do anything for you.

My rear was ripped to s***, my pass side mount has a small rip in it.

Yeah if your mounts are stock they need upgrading..... If you dont want the full mount the incerts are perfect, inexpensive and effective.

This is a simple BUT one of the most nessessary mods that can be done. Not just for the "spirited" drivers, but all 3rd Gen owners, its benifits in rain, snow, & or any type of low traction surfaces are evident.

I have the front and the rear mounts from AWR. first thing let me tell you the rear mount is a pain to put in or at least it was for me. I am about to put the inserts in the sides so i willbasically have all new mounts. I do agree with the whole ac vibration not that fun. The response from the throtle is crazy though and also doesnt feel like your motor is trying to jump out of the car when you shift hard.

i have the stock front mount and rear mount with the inserts that came with my exhaust i will sell them PM me real cheap they are just taking up room!!!!!

im about to inspect my mounts, i know one is broken because i felt it bouncing around and smashing into something when i was getting on it the other day on a higher psi. i know im doing the front regardless if its broken or not. to keep the vibrations at a minimum and still fix the problem(if its broken), you all are saying to just fill the rear one instead of replacing it?

I have a front AWR for sale if any of you guys are interested. 70 durometer, used about 100 miles. It's posted in the for sale forum.

You should check out our own ********** motor mounts as an alternative to the AWRs.

Oooohh, those are pretty!!! The 62 durometer should help too. Has the rear mount been tested for the "shake effect" with A/C on at idle? As I've mentioned, my 70 rear was brutal (IMO) vs. my filled stock that's hardly noticeable. I would think that a 62 would also be somewhere in between stock and harsh and would hold up well.

All of my stock mounts were torn and the front was broken. I have the AWR pass side insert, 88 front and 95 rear. Its not that bad for me. I have very little vibration with the ac on and just the same with it off. I like it.

Those new mounts are nice but expensive.

The rear mount is actually getting tested for everything this Saturday!!
