well last week at the track, i found out the hard way that my rear motor mount was teh weaksauce. when i launched, my whole motor and tranny slammed into the firewall, smashing my throttle cable and cracking my tranny case.

anyways, i put a new one in today. took me all day pretty much. very tight squeeze, had to undo the rear bracket and push/twist it to the side until i go the perfect angle to pull the old mount in and put a new solid mount in. didnt help that it was raining/hailing, and the pavement was soaking wet.

anyone car to share there stories feel free

 

I had my tranny out when I did mine. Much easier.

How did you like the little vacuum design?

I love how it doesn't disconnect.

I dangled the mount on the vacuum lines(accident), and it was still connected, it's amazing.

 

mine isnt like that, just a bare mount. I have a motor swap though... ya, having the tranny out seems like i would of had more room from the bottom for sure.

thats only on auto's, manual's do no have that.

 

I find that with a jack under the motor unbolting the driver side mount and the rear mount from the bracket. Then lifting the motor slightly enough to where the rear mount can slip out. I used a loooong extension and unbolted the rear mount from behind the intake Mani
