Hey, how much does it cost for the shop to put a new mount in for me? Is it easy enough that I could do it myself? Thanks.

 

around 150-200 I guess, you pretty much have to get the motor on a hoist and jack it up alittle

 

I got my front motor mounts changed on my car from Honda dealer. They did it for about $110 ($30 for parts and $80 for labor). Another specialty Honda shop quoated me a similar price as well. I guess it something you could possibly do it yourself if you have the know how. Good luck on doing it yourself.

 

The hardest thing about it depends on what mount you want to do, because access to them can get tough. Also, if they are old then they can get pretty damn stuck. Of course, if you have an engine hoist or a friend of yours does then you should take the time to hook it up--you would hate to remove one then find out that the other one is cracked when the motor lands on your face--but if I didn't have one then I would probably not worry about it and be a typical "it won't happen to me" mechanic. But this is really just a matter of screw one off and screw the other one on. That is, unless you have to screw other things off to get to it.

I always seem to say this, but do you have the Haynes or Helms manual? Either will answer most of these questions for you with pictures included.

 

it looks like that you will need to replace 4 rubber mounts - see the link here - http://www.hondaautomotivepart...81%29

You will need item 1, 2, 3 and 7 I believe.

You can see the part prices and add some dollars for labor - I would think it will take them one to two hours with some coffee breaks in between.

If you want to do it, it is fairly easy but I can be wrong. I did my 88 and 92 Accords and they were pretty simple. Just do one mount at a time and use jack with 2 by 4 stud under oil pan to hold engine in position while replacing them. Of course, use stands if jacked up.

By the way, why do you think the mounts need to be replaced? Mine were replaced when they had 200+ miles on them. I think they say to replace mounts at 100k miles but mine were fine (but somewhat soft and sagged) after 200k miles. I replaced them when I did my transmission/clutch replacement and my 3rd timing belt change just to get them out of the way. I do not know how many miles you have on your car but 97 accord seems to be fairly new to me.

Good luck

Jim

 

Does anyone know if the 5 gen motor mount will fit the 6th gen. 4cyl that is, front mount.

 

dont think it will... diferent chassis and motor.... unless if the 6gens have an f23 then maybe...?? go down to the junkyard or where ever youre going to get the mount and compare it to yours would be the easiest way i think

The 5th gen is F22 the 6th gen is F23..im hoping it will fit since i found a aftermarket one for cheap but only for the F22.
