Clutch change... BROKE MOTOR MOUNT FOUND! (help?)
Alright so here I am spending my weekend working on this car to swap the clutch. Just as I drop the subframe and drag it out I notice the front motor mount is shot. The rubber inside is broke, I call all around, no one has it. The local dealers parts departments are all closed until monday....
So... My questions are, is there anyway to patch or fix it? If I have to get a replacement should I get an aftermarket mount? OR does anyone local (DFW TX) have or know someone who has one I can buy tomorrow (sunday).
Advice? Comments? Questions?

It depends what you want. If you launch and race your car than you should get aftermarket mounts. Otherwise stock mounts wont make your car shake like hell at idle. So its a trade-off. And I dont know about any places around here that will be open tomorrow.

It may not be like California, but I see RSX-S's and '06+ Si's practically everywhere I go over here. Ive yet to see one at a junkyard though.

We did a temporary fix on it. Going to have to replace it eventually im sure. Not really interested in getting a $200 aftermarket front mount when I can get a new stock one for $70. Thanks everyone!

Well, the front mount absorbs a lot of engine vibrations, the linked mount you mentioned wont cause annoying vibrations in the car will it? This is my daily and I have enough annoying rattles and minor fixes i need to make on this car.

He said his front mount is torn. The mount kit comes with rear mount, trans mount and passanger side mount not a front mount.
