Tighten mount bolts. TIPS???
I have all the mounts on the freshly installed motor except for 3.
I'm not sure what the best way to get to them is eaither.
the ones in question are the 3 bolts that go into the rear crossmember.
The car was an auto and it's been converted to manual.
This required the rear mount to be moved over.
I had completely removed this mount when I pulled the last motor and it was a long while before I was ready to install the newer engine.
So time passed and I I wasn't sure which set of holes in the rear crossmember to use.
loosely put the mount in using the set of holes I thought was correct.
When I put the motor in everything went smoothly, but I forgot about the loose bolts.

is your question how to tighten the bolts on the back tranny mount with the engine still in?
if so, it can be done....just takes the right setup of extensions and swivels to get that one "hidden" bolt on the firewall side.

Re: Tighten mount bolts. TIPS??? (fastcrxsi90)
Yeah - that's the question.
I don't own any swivels so I guess I have to pick one up.
Or will I need 2?
All of them get tightened by accessing them from above the motor?
Or should I be trying to get to them from under the car?
I didn't have much luck getting back in to the one that's furthest back even with the motor out so this all will be a neat trick at the least!
