Okay I started to install the ES torq mount kit today, got the 2 lower passanger and driver inserts in, but how in the hell do you get the rear torq inserts in without removing the engine?
This is the kit im using.

When I looked up in there, looks like there is no way to move the mount out of the way in order to slide this inserts in place??
If you take all the bolts off of the T bracket youll be able to wiggle it out, and then remove the bolts holding the rear mount down.
It can be kind be a pain in the *** with the intake manifold there and some of the hoses still there.

it's a major pain in the ***. that big long bolt sucks donkey ***** backwards. i normally use the cherry picker or a jack to balance the motor for the reinstall. if it's close a prybar can work too. getting it out isn't that bad, back in is where it gets fun.

Yeah I put the car back on the lift and looked at it again, stood there for a bit shook my head walked away, then came back looked at it from the top, scratched my head walked away again than came back and looked at it from the side, walked away grabbed a flashlight then looked at from underneath again,
ummm... yeah F%$# that. 2 out of 3 is fine with me. maybe when the engine blows up and I do a full rebuild I might think about installing the last rear mount..........

i left the rear one out on my car and haven't had any problems. that trans mount insert causes you to have a lot more vibration in the car. I don't have that problem with the front 2 only. Had them on about 4 years and no ill effects

Yeah, I have quite a bit more vibration now with just the 2 lower mount inserts in place. I think those 2 are fine for now.
One of my friends actually removed his inserts from his rear mount due to just that.
It vibrated more then my friends car with innovative mounts in it.
But deffienetly did the job.

No, i see exactly where you are coming from.
It felt to me as if they vibrated less, in all honestly i could be wrong. Also, i should add friend runing inserts wasnt runing torque mounts, other was.
