Replacing engine mounts 98 Civic LX Show Honda-Tech Member Thread Starter
Join Date: Sep 2013 Posts: 8 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts So, I'm having all of the usual bad engine mount symptoms... vibration in reverse, a bit of a hard shift from first to second, and now some vibration at idle while driving. I want to replace the mount(s) and figured since they were pretty cheap and I'll be doing it myself, I should just do all of them. BUT... I looked at the parts on RockAuto and there are lots.... Which one(s) is/are the most likely culprit(s) of my symptoms and which should I be replacing? Thanks for any help! And what about the transmission mounts? Should I just go ahead and do them as well?

Join Date: Sep 2013 Posts: 72 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts i'm also in the market for mounts, but solid mounts like those, especially on 4 cylinders, make me wonder how bad the vibrations are, i have stiffer aftermarket mounts on my 240(s) before the vibration can get old in traffic >.> apexi do you run aftermarket torque mounts as well?

mount) Hope this helps - my car definitely rides better since these mounts were all replaced. My driver's side motor mount was actually split into two pieces! B*a*n*n*e*d

Join Date: Sep 2013 Posts: 8 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Wow, thank you so much, this is exactly what i was looking for. Yes, this is my daily driver, not planning on doing anything special to it, as I am actually going to be giving it to my daughter in a couple of years as her first car. So, I know the top two engine mounts are fairly easy to get to, and the rear one isn't AS easy, but I've looked at it and determined that I can get it off without removing anything else. What about the other mounts you mentioned? Honda-Tech Member Thread Starter

Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: bum-fuk egypt Posts: 2,703 Likes: 0 my front torque mounts I filled with polyurethane but would like to replace them for some aftermarket ones. my bushings are a 65a and vibration is like stock at 1k idle. its gets alil shaky when low rpm or clutch slipping with a 6 puck... but it eliminated any wheel hop I ever had. filling my torque mounts is probably softer then the bushings so it supports but still gives to distribute through the other mounts.
