93 coupe, b16a2, '00 si tranny

My bottom tranny mount does not line up, i can not get all 3 bolts into the motor, ive just been bolting the very bottom one.. and now its broke


My tranny case is broke where the bottom bolt goes in and now i need to align the rest of them up..



is anyone eles having problems aligning the lower mount?



I need to get those in!

 

Its all over man...lol..

 

which rear bracket is that?? are you bolting it up with the other mounts attached??

 

yeah the other mounts are attached because this one broke off...

and yeah, if i bolt up that lower one first, i dont think it will fit in the front 2 then

 

If you cinch down the two bolts tht you can access from the top first them you will often have problems getting the lower two aligned. Loosen all of the bolts and get them all started before you tighten down anything...assuming that the bracket is correct. I would get that tranny fixed up first.

yeah not a easy fix, any ideas on how to?

and yeah i had them all lose, they are like 1/8" off, BARLY off, but enouph..

 

i did a motor swap once.. and that part of the tranny case cracked off while i was trying to loosen the bolt. I Just put the tranny back skipping that bolt, and my friend hasnt had n e trouble.
The only way to fix that would be to replace that part of the tranny case. Its not too expensive.. maybe $300? or find a shop that has a bad tranny lying around with a good case. you can most likely find those cheaper, but u would have to be able to swap over the gears.. or you would end up paying a lot for somebody doing it for u.

 

yeah thats what im wanting to do, i want my other mounts to lign up so i dont have to use that one!

this week im going to try to align it again but for now im done, hah

$600 can get me a gsr or b16 tranny from some people

which you guys think i should run ?

if you have the piece that broke off there are some shops that can weld the aluminum back together, & then you can put a threaded steel insert in the hole. Good luck

I don't know if i'm understanding you correctly, but do you mean not use the rear mount at all? if so. thats a very bad idea man... if not, forget I ever said it.

Like one of these guys said above, its been my experience that to get those bolts in, the rest of the mounts need to be loose; you need to be able to have a bit of play in order to get the bolts started. DO NOT overtighten those bolts. The tranny case is relatively soft aluminum and will crack the bolt holes under high torque.

Also, be sure to support the engine and tranny with a jack, trust me it makes a world of difference.

yeah i mean that bottom hole on the tranny mount, not the mount its self

when i changed the mounts last week, me and a friend did it with a jack, trying to re align everything was such a bitch tho, my motor ended up on the floor like twice!

Finally i had to get another jack out and jack it up on the oil pan and anywhere possible to line it up

 

 

not to jump into this forum but i was driving my car today and i heard a loud bang, i looked under my car and it was pooring out oil and i found a chunk of my tranny case on the ground, is my transmission gong or can i get the piece welded back on. Thanks
