I received some good information and tips on how to get to this one. I need more options/technique. I tried a search with no luck. I have installed the left and right mounts (Prothane kit, we're talking serious ******* vibration here) but now that I'm looking at the rear mount, I'm thinking, "how the hell?" So if anyone has any easy ways to get to it, please chime in. For those that offered suggestions already, thank you. I'm just looking for more opinions/suggestions.

Someone else also told me that once the rear mount is installed, the amount of vibration actually goes down. Anyone have experience with this being the case? Thanks again.

 

I thought maybe taking off the rear mount and dropping the trans/motor assy down a bit and pulling it forward may give you enough clearance to get the rear mount off far enough to slip the inserts on... Ddub and I discussed this when his trans was out for the ATS install... and we both felt that you MIGHT get enough room this way..

 

i don;t understand...i had no problems swapping my rear mounts. yes, it took some time, and some creative manuvering of the mount to get it out/in but i did it in about an hour without removing anything but the mount and the mounts bolts.

 

once the car is in the air... 20 min. job.

You have to remove the subframe brace and get the bracket loose to move it around.

You do not have to remove the tranny or loosen any of the other mounts.

The rear mount is the most effective one and will cause vibration even more.

 

Holy **** on a shingle was that fawking rear mount hard. My car it took like 2 seconds cause we had the tranny out , but jasons car was a bitch. We had to remove the lower sub frame tie bar, the evap can, and loosen the tranny side uper and lower motor mount. Then westle it for about 45 minutes. Maybe I'm just retarted but it was a bitch and a half.

As for once its in, Jasons steering wheel vibrates at idle, but mine does not. It is loud as nads in my car now, but I like that

 

Also I was not able to remove the rear brace completely on jasons car so I had to call the power of castle grey skull and focus all that power to the tips of my finger to wedge that damn mount in. Its totaly worth it though (on your own car, fawk helping a friend any more, make him do it )

Hahaha, I can sell my GSR to any woman now. They would buy it in a snap after a test drive. They can just get off on the amount of vibration that I have after doing all my mounts with the ES inserts

 

unless they have money...

rear one = easy as pie with he-man skillz....

-who only had to remove the tie bar... and loosen the rear mounting bracket

 

.....I know yack and willi3 have a 15 minute technique they need to show me!

 

Whats Jacks tech? Spin a bearing then just give the tech the motor mount to put in when they replace the motor j/k jack... now my tranny is fawked, but the motor runs great.

 

it rhymes with "country club"

 

**** Plug?

 

 

"country club" will be in full effect this weekend assdime

 

You're welcome to have as much fun with yourself as you want, but please keep it behind closed doors ok

I left my rear out. How much of a difference does having it in make. My car vibrates now, how much more could that do in terms of noise and vibration? This car is my daily driver.

 

I hope you are putting the prothane rear mount for racing as for a street car I wouldn't. It causes the car to vibrate so badly that my windshield shakes when the car is idling. It does a great job in getting the power to the ground but damn the vibrations would be tough on a daily driver.

 

That answers my question. I read prior to install to leave out because of vibration. I think I will leave the way it is now. Car vibrates a little but is bearable. Better than stock as far as putting power to ground.

 

He-man pwns j00.

Damn, this is a lot of replies. Thanks everyone for their input. Yeah, I've been debating on whether I should install that rear mount. I have a full urethane mount on the driver's side, and inserts on the passenger side. And Prothane replaces the big mounts up top, not the lower ones. Getting some good vibe from the car now!
