I think one of them are loose, when i shift ( i shift exremely hard and put my heart into the shifts ) lol, but seriously is one of them broken or how can I tighten them ? Everytime i shift really hard it feels like the god damn engine is going to fly out! Please help

Thanks

True true. That tell tale grease **** will be your best evidence.

so driver side mount meaning on the right side..? and also how can i tell if its busted other than being like completly broken off?

There is mount on timing belt side of the motor. Look at that. If you see any brown stains on your shock tower or around the mount, that usually means it's broken.

It's a common problem on ek hybrids. You may have had the misfortune of breaking it.

I checked them out, NOPE no brown stains of any sort , nothing looked cracked or broken. Im guessing there just loose, is that possible ?

On that driver side mount you visually inspect it for tears. It is very common to have a tear in it. Place Racing makes a new mount for it and I believe Hasport released one as well. Check out JDMhondaparts.com for more info on it.

jack up the motor from underneath (put a block of wood in between jack & oilpan) and lift it up an inch or so, look for a tear in the rubber surround of the driver's side mount (that's on the driver's side).

if none appear torn, consider es motor mount inserts. they're for the bottom two front mounts, and the rear. that will stop a lot of movement, and add a little vibration. if that's not enough, look into hasport or place's replacement mounts. they're really stiff.

there's also a mugen replacement set, which upgrades all of them. i would do that one for a daily driver.

Check your manual tranny fluid first. Could be something as simple as that. Could be your 3rd engine mount, but if that one was worn out your whole engine would rock and so would your shift linkages.
