it's shaking like krasie. it was fine the other day now the motor is shaking and i don't know wat it could be any ideas?

 

motor mount maybe,, i mean does it run fine

 

Motor mounts, probably the back one, especially if you did a motor swap.

you should prob. let us know what you had done to the car, so its easier to diagnose

 

In for motor/tranny mounts.

 

well everything is stock so i guess i'll check the mounts... umm where are they...? =X and another question i changed the spark plug wires and they seem a little longer then the previous ones... is that ok?

 

the mounts are located on each side of the engine bay,, check them theyhold the engine in place

 

where are the mounts in the back and the ones for the tranny or are they all the same? oh and wat should i be looking for? to see if they're damaged? like cracked or something?

yeah, they would be cracked more than likely

if you need a visual to see what your lookin for then go to google photo's and type in civic motor mounts and i'm sure you'll find somethin

 

yeah my motor use to shake like a **** my motor mounts were cracked like a bitch got new one and doesnt shake anymore.

I'm assuming from this post that you also don't know how to remove your mounts..The rear one is a bitch, so just check the other two and that should narrow down what you might need to replace.

Driver Side Mount:
1. Put a jack on your tranny with a wood block to protect your ****, then jack it up until there is pressure between the wood block and the tranny.

2. Then I'm not sure how many nuts and bolts there are on your mounts, but it's pretty self explanitory, if you have any questions, consults your helms/haynes manual or PM me. There should be three bolts going through your mount. There are two nuts on each bolt wich requires you to use two wrenches to take them off..

3. Then check the mount for damage...When putting the mount back in, make sure your have a pry bar because the bolts might no go back in the way they came out lolz.. So just make sure you have a pry bar to position the mount to nudge the side bolt back in correctly..!!

Tranny Mount(Passenger side mount):1. Position your jack just like you did for the driver mount and put pressure on the tranny

2. There should be four bolts on this mount, one of which is going through the mount which is securing it to your bracket and the other three bolted to your transmission. Take those nuts and bolts off and you got your tranny mount off..!

3. Then expect your mount for damage

Those 2 are the easiest of the three to take out which will narrow down what might need to be replaced.

Ps. I also based this on my car which is a CRX so the number of bolts i stated etc might be wrong, but i basically wrote what you needed to do to take them off..

You can also just look at the mounts and might be able to see damage, but actually taking the mounts off will give you a better idea of what's wrong.
