Default traction bar no no

i just bought me an LCON traction bar and it fits and everything the only problem is that i dont have a mount for my tranny because im using my stock tranny and d series motor. The only thing is there no mount on the bar for the tranny.

Replace your remaining mounts with polyurethane ones, that should stiffen up the motor quite a bit.


It cant be too bad as long as your mounts are in ok condition. Mount kits for b series only have 3 mounts, so you should be good.

not true, d-series engine have more front to back movement, Hence why most aftermarket motor mount inserts only sell the front and rear mounts inserts now.

Only due to weaker mounts.

The front and rear mount are the stabilizers, put just 1 solid mount in the front or back and watch what happens.

If you run a tight rear mount either aftermarket or just inserts you can get away with only 3 mounts. However, if you start making big power and/or running on slicks, you NEED a front mount. This is from personal experience, I cracked the rear crossmember in my CRX last year on three mounts.
