I have a couple of questions about upgrading my motor mounts. I was thinking about purchasing these mounts:

But I noticed they only show 3 mounts in the picture. Aren't there more than 3 mounting points? There are a total of 5 mounts on the engine and transmission for a DC2, correct? The main reason I was planning to replace my mounts is that the tranny mount is completely shot, so I figured I'd just replace them all, but if I buy the above mounts is it going to replace the tranny mount as well?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a engine mount replacement that has all of them, including the ones that replace the tranny mounts?

Thanks...

edit:

i found this picture on an auction on ebay:



I'm assuming if i buy the mounts i listed above in that first link, i won't get mounts that will replace all of these?

 

the two front lower ones arent engine mounts, they are torque mounts. the prevent the motor from twisting in place but they dont actauly hold it in the bay. Ive heard that if you get some nice motor mounts you dont need those at all, but if your looking to upgrade them you can get energy suspension replacment bushings. also to help out the torque mounts you can get a torque dampner, ingalls makes one.

 

Ok, so if i bought these:

i would be correct to assume that the three mounts would replace the "trans" "rear" and "front left upper" in this picture:



correct?

 

yes...
then get the prothane or ES insters for the lower torque mounts. The engine will never move, but the car will vibrate like hell!

 

cool. another question... there are 3 hardness choices for the hardness of the bushing or the "shore rating" and they are 60A, 75A, and 85A... this is going to be a daily driver so should i just go with the softest setting? is going with a harder bushing going to make that much of a difference?

 

IMO just get those 3 mounts, and loose the lower tq. mounts, or at least just leave em stock.

i know of probally 5 EG/DC chassi using solid upper mounts, and no lower tq and the ride is fine.

 

you think i should go with the 85A shore rating then?
