Busted driver's side motor mount...
I popped my hood to check my oil in the morning when I noticed that my driver's side mount seemed weird. Upon closer inspection, I see that the insert is busted. I'm pretty sure the driver's side motor mount is pretty much gone, but just wondering if its okay to drive around with it like this for couple of weeks until I have money. Is it bad for my other mounts in the engine bay?
If you can't tell from the position of the mounts, its a '00 Civic.

yup happened to me as well. It happened during the track so I didn't know and when I went to launch the car the engine would hop up and dent up my hood and the coolant hose ripped off. I replaced it with a Hasport mount. I think HCP makes one as well.

it happens - probably from all that torque.
your engine won't fall out or anything, but the fluid that is (was) inside that mount will stain the underside of your hood, so wash it off if you haven't already (don't ask me about my white car and how i know this).
place racing makes a replacement that is similar to stock but stiffer with no liquid - i went with the hasport replacement, as well as the tranny mount. more vibration, but nice feel.

Driving seems to be fine. There is no strong vibration, but I do hear "clicking" noises when I shift or when I put stress on the motor.

I've blown out that mount too, but replaced with the HCP mount from jdmshit.com It was like $130 shipped...$70 cheaper than the hasport.

Man, when I broke mine, i thought I had a flat! The engine would rock and shift shaking the car! Damn that mount! Plus it dented my hood when it busted..
When you replace it, definetly get a aftermarket replacement or those inserts Ive seen.
I broke mine when I didnt have an A/C bracket. So I just had that one torque mount for the tranny but not the other torque mount for the A/C. So now I have torque inserts for both sides.

Don't replace it with a stock one or it will just tear again. Just don't drive hard until you replace it. I used the place racing mount and it worked great. I think it's $140. Well worth it though

Take a peek at your torwue mounts as well. Look at the front of the wheels well, and u will see a mount there. Ruber may be torn there too. I replaced all three of those mounts on my civic with 130k on it and used ES inserts.

I'm not a lowballer. I just like good prices.

that hydraulic mount is known to bust on the 96+ civics. either upgrade or replace. either way, it's gonna cost ya.

Re: Busted driver's side motor mount... (EM1b18cR)
This is slightly off topic.
I have a '00 Civic LX auto that sometimes thumps slightly when the gas is applied or when it changes gears. None of my mounts look like that one, but how do I check for wear or more subtle damage?
I don't mean to thread jack, but it is kinda related.
thanks

Common problem in EKs. Performance one is about $250. I rather replace the OEM one 5 times @ $50 each.
