Why not just replace the mount? Brand new ones are right at $40 each from Carland Acura. www.acuraautomotiveparts.org

I have replaced both of my torque mounts and my rear mount in the past 6 months.

oh wait I read the OP wrong. Do you know which motor mount is bad? I thought your post said specifically it was one of the front lower torque mounts going bad, which I said are about $40 each new.

I ran with torn rear mount and torque mounts for who knows how long and it wasn't a big deal. I wasn't breaking/binding axles or anything.

Just need to visually inspect to see if the rubber is torn in the mounts.

If you haven't checked them, why do you think they are broken?

as soon as i take a right out of my driveway i have like 15 feet until i get to a stop sign. so i just keep it in first at about 10mph for 10 of thos 15 feet. when i push my clutch in i hear a thump. so i figured it was one of the motor mounts???

why is this being bumped? there isn't an answer that we'd be able to provide you with that can fix your situation. you've got to put your internet time into fixing your car problems. replacing the mounts are an easy task. remove the bolts, remove the mount, replace the mount replace the bolts. use a floor jack and or an engine lift to assist you. if things are in your way remove the components and make sure that they are put together in the same fashion they were originally in. have fun. make it easy on yourself.
