Putting in my ES mount inserts and this is what I find when I pull the front tranny mount.



Is it ok to just rock it like in the bottom photo, or should I buy a new mount that hasn't been ripped to ****?.

 

I would buy a new one if you can afford it. They couldnt be more then 50 bucks right?

 

Yeah, thing is I am flat broke...I'm sure I can find a cheap used mount which I am currently doing. Thing is this is on my daily and it's 1.30am, car is on stands in the garage and I have untill monday to get this situation sorted or I could be screwed.

 

if you can put it back in the way you found it, then do that till you get $ for new mounts?

 

Squirt some window weld in there. As long as the hole is where it should be and there is something in side of the insert ur fine.

 

Fill it with window weld, you will be fine putting it back in the way it is

 

i think youll be fine with it all together. window weld will make everything more stiffer, but the way the poly inserts fill and sandwich everything, itll all be "kosher" without needing to mess with anything.

 

Lay it on its side and put the rubber/mount where it goes and fill the whole thing with polyU from home depot

yup, .. cheapest and best way to go. And you wont be left with something that will fall apart. It works great.

I've used

Name: Polyurethane
Window Door & SidingSealant

Brand: PL "(stick with the best)"

You dont have to use the same xact one i used, but just to give you an example. I've re-used the mounts on two engines, and they are still holding up fine.

Just placethe Mount on its side, and try your best to put it exactly where it was. Then start Caking it in from one side ( while mount is positioned on its side so there is no movement in the bolt spacer thing) Then let it dry over night, or a day even.


oh BTW.. why does it look like you have a new bushing in the bottom photo?.. thing looks perfect?.. i dont understand?
