Driving without rear motor mount bolted in
I just b20 swapped my 1999 civic and I can’t get the bolt into the rear mount. I currently just have the main motor and Tran mount installed and they are fully solid mounts.
Would it be okay to drive the car around a bit?

Re: Driving without rear motor mount bolted in
It is a terrible idea... and the more the engine rocks around in the engine bay, whether it is from starting from a stop or raw-dawg accelerating and banging gears, the greater change you damage the trans case, yank it out of gear, damage the exhaust or the axles... or the block itself. What rear bracket do you have that doesn't seem to fit ?
