not really new just havent been on in a while, i used to have a 95 civic lx, i recently got a dc2 gsr, eibach coil overs, ls rims and stock besides that just a fresh rebuild, well, i destroyed my motor mounts doing a burnout lmao, already replaced the drivers side one the lower trans mission one now i have to replace my rear motor mount and top passenger side mount, i have all of them just have no idea on how i should go about changing them. had the car jacked up but couldnt find that rear mount, any help would be highly appreciated, i dont know how to upload pics on here so ima put my facebook link so you guys can check it out

best way to get the t bracket off is to take off your torque mounts(so you can rock the motor to get bracket off), jack the car up and get underneath it, from there you can see the bolts holding it in, and theres one you can get from up top behind the starter

 

so i ran into a problem, need help asap, im changing the rear motor mount now, the T mount or whatever its called is missing the 2 bolts on the bottom, any one know what size and thread the bolts are and where i can possibly find them? and the bolt thats under the starter, well where mit screws in a big @$$ chunk is missing and the internal threads are showing, can that be a major problem?

 

A pic of damage would help, it's never good when, "a big @$$ chunk is missing".

Assuming it is a 94 GS-R... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal

I am also assuming you do not have at least a Haynes manual? 94

 

ill get some pics up in a couple minutes, what code for images do i put? no i dont, need to get one soon

 

 

so i need some one elses input, it looks like it was the hole where the t bracket mounts up to the motor, so am i screwed?

 

anyone?

 

?

 

just go to the junk yard and get the bolts and put them in when you replace the mount. What are you woried about? if anything you might be able to buy em from the dealer for a few bucks. Some times if they have been removed and not torqued down good or if the wreong size bolt is used vibration can cause them to back out and unscrew itself.

 

Not seeing the damage. 94

 

sorry, should have circled it before i put it up, and ive been to the junk yards around here they only have totaled out ls'es with the motors ripped out....any ways heres a better pic

 

OK i see your issue, the housing and threads have been broken off the edge where the bolt threads in. Your trans will need to be pulled and even then i don't see it being a easy fix because you don't have the broken piece to weld back on. you can try and put in the other bolts that are missing and secure the mount as best as you can and if you still have movement or issues the trans housing will need to be replaced or the machine shop can try and add and weld on aluminum to the area and retap a time sert inside so the bolt can screw in again.

 

okay gonna try the other bolts first, worst comes to worst iam gonna try and get a new transmission. Thanks for your guys input it was highly appreciated

 

no wait! before you buy a new one search for a b series hydro housing or a busted trans and have your internals swapped in the new trans housing, might be cheaper than buying a used one for $600.

 

X2^^^ there are more then a few blown transmissions out there that you can pick up for next to nothing, this assumes your transmission is in good shape, other then the broken out bolt hole. 94

 

alright, well i will start looking for one soon, in the mean time im hoping it will atleast hold up how it is for a couple months

 

Just keep acceleration and deceleration smoothe, no hard shifting up or down or WOT pulls, drive like the proverbial old lady and you should be fine. 94

 

lmao thats exactly how ive been driving her been baby'ing her like a new born, i accelerate pretty slow and always rev match down shift to hopefully keep her going strong for years to come, well since i busted the mounts haha

 

hey im new, and it wont let me post but if i dont post five times i cant do **** help

 

post one more thing?

 

You sure about that? I lol'd when I saw that, good luck finding a transmission case housing, gonna need it!

 

Yes I am, untill he replaces the transmission, he can't do anyting else.

What would you suggest? 94

 

yea i was doing a burnout when i busted the mounts, after they busted ive been babying her, lmao thanks

 

problem after problem, so now i checked and the 2 bolts that are on the bottom of the T bracket that screw into the tranny, well anyways the threads on the inside are stripped, im kinda scared to re tap it incase it weekens it or anything, what if i were to tac weld the bolts to the T bracket? i drove a little while ago and the motor didnt move at all with those bolts in but they fell out after 1/4th mile, so im considering tac welding to the t bracket, any other suggestions?
