Im getting a lot of trembling into the car especially when in Reverse.
I bought the rear motor mount to try and cure a whiles back but haven't found a good how to? it does look like it could be tedious.

Anyone recommend this as the cure as well as a good how to? If not what do u recommend to cure?

 

First, we need to know your year and model. Can't help you if we don't know. Second, how's your front torque and tranny mount? Those are more likely to give you vibration at rest in reverse than the rear, from my experience, if you have an auto. The rear gives more vibration in drive gear with an auto.

 

Your right this is for my 1992 Honda Accord EX.

When you say front torque do u mean front motor mount? That one does not look shot but no it does not look "new" either.

I have not checked the tranny mount. But I will.

The trembling happens when in reverse as its moving and while at rest...and you could feel it all the way up through the steering column.

I've been under it a few times but never noticed the tranny mount. Would it be right under the tranny towards the rear of it...just like in american cars or is there a different location?

If you feel that is more likely the culprit Ill check it out...since it is also more likely the easier of the two to swap. I still havent found a good how to for the rear engine mount.

 

ok. Before we go on, let's make sure we get the trembling identified correctly.
1) If you get the shake while in reverse at rest or in drive "D" at rest, then it's most likely the front torque. If you get a real violent shake, then it could be the mount or some other issues. Motor mounts problems usually don't shake so bad that it's intolerable. Take a real close look at the front dog bone mount, it has the 3 point rubber connections, even one of them break could cause a shake. Mine was all severed so the shake was more noticeable. But my shake was in reverse at rest. Once I get moving, no shake. What I did was I bought a cheap manual front torque mount which also fit the auto tranny and the inserts. The inserts will only fit the manual mount.
2) Rear mount shake in all tranny shift position. It shakes more at rest as the vacuum is applied at rest and if the mount is bad with severed rubber, then it will shake more prominently. There are 3 ways to replace it. One, you need to take the intake manifold off to get access. This is the best way as it gives you the most room. If the bolts on your mount are rusted in, then this is the best way. Two, you don't have to remove the intake, but you can go from the passenger's side, remove the black control box, and all of the stuffs on that side to get access. Three, you could take the passenger's wheel and axle off and work from the bottom up. You might need to remove the wheel splash guard to get access.
The most common mounts that break is the front, then the rear. If you leave the front broken too long, the rear will go soon after. The engine rocks forward and back with motion. The rear mounts only get stressed at hard turns. If the tranny mount break, you will hear a clunking sound when hitting bumps and some times coming to a stop fast. If it's completely totally gone, then you will get problems shifting some times.
Since you have an EX, make sure you look up your mounts correctly. The EX some times will use different size parts. The mounts that I have helped done are all in LX and DX cars. Without doing the spoon feeding, lol, head over to the cb7tuner forums and go under DIY section and look up the threads with pics of the first 2 methods I mentioned, the third one is without pics or a write up. Just friend told me how he did it.
Good luck. With the rear mounts, it can be frustrating, so give your self 2 days in case you need breaks in between. Take your time, the parts in our cars are old and can break easily if not handle with care.
You will need help doing the rear mount if you have never done it. It's better this way and you learn more and save more time.

 

I'm going to check the tranny mount but yea my front mount is fine....and I have obseverved the rear one to be torn. sucks to be me I guess...i really did not want to take off the upper manifold becuz when an engine is running fine I hate disturbing it. but oh well.
I will try to find the diy's thank you.
