Hi i have a 4th gne with the h23 in it....if the mount starts to go which i think it is if i come to a stop in first gear the engine will jerk even if im not touching the gas if i dont replace it right away will it break off entirely?

 

Eventually maybe. The front mount doesn't do anything statically. It's only in play when you're shifting, getting off the throttle etc. It's easy enough to get to that I'd just pull it and inspect.

 

The rear motor mount is usually the culprit in instances like this. It's hard to get at though, so check the front one first like already suggested. IF it's torn or worn, you can easily replace it or just get a set of energy suspension motor mount inserts to stiffen it up a bit.

 

with the ES insert you gotta be ready for the rattling that may occur at idle. Although those ES inserts did help alot with wheel hop.

 

True, but if he only uses the front one it doesn't really have any vibrations. The back one is killer though lol

 

To really answer the question - the front mount isn't going to break - it is a square piece of steel that completely encircles the bolt assembly that attaches the motor.

However - mine was (is broken) and the vibration was quite noticeable. But, when I got the car, there was a bolt missing (1 of 2 bolts) on the driver side mount and the motor vibrated so badly that the front bumper was about to fall off. - Absolutely terrible ! - Side mount is now fixed and I agree with previous posts. Some vibration but not nearly as bad as two mounts with problems.

 

Innovative mounts FTW

 

ok thanks guys
