it cost me 475 to replace the motor mount, parts and labor, which, my original quote was 700, so its all good there. Anways, i got the part back from the honda dealer, they always leave whatever they take out in your car, so i look at the mount, and i dont see anything wrong with it, this is the first time ive seen a motor mount, but, i was told it was fractured, from what i see it looks fine, no fractures or anything. Then, so i was driving home, and i noticed that my car still vibrates bad, and my car still jerks when i go from neutral to drive(auto). So i figure, 1)either the mount was broken, but i dont no **** about it and cant see it, 2)I was jipped and should report this **** to the dealer
3)The motor mount was fractured, but i have another problem.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you

which mount was replaced? most times it it the front {dogbone} mount that goes bad and causes a bad vibration.

 

The metal structure of the mount usually doesnt break its the rubber that tears. Take a look at the rubber. If you break the metal bracket of the mount I have no idea how you would even do that without a shitload of HP and/or torque.

 

it was the rear motor mount, it doesnt look like a dog bone, if i can find a digital camera i put a pic up, and ill check out that rubber, where is it located, i see some rubber, but there are different parts that have that rubber...

An EX auto would have the liquid-filled rear mount. It probably leaked so they replaced it. Your front mount is probably torn too. It's easy to see just look at the top of the front mount right by the exhaust heat sheild/header and see if the rubber's torn.

 

how much does a front motor mount go for, and how hard is to install? Ill check it out today before I leave to work...

I hear it looks like a dogbone... thanks for the info

I think what you had replaced was the rear hydraulic mount, #4 here.
Check out the top of #15 for tears.

 

yup, that looks exacly like it, ill check it out for the rubber, and ill check out the front motor mount right now.

Front motor mount part #15 $66.47 order here.

I'd also suggest a front motor mount insert #16-1107 $19.95 order here.

Pretty easy install.

 

alright, i havent checked if its the front yet, but if it isnt, can anyting else be caussing so much vibration, and what are the tools im gonna need? sorry for all the questions, im probablly renown for all the questions i ask.

Ummm I think it's just that old cars and old motors vibrate. Especially old Honda automatics.
