any EASY way to tell if the engine mounts are shot? like without jacking up the car or something. if I need to jack up the car and engine, and check the engine mount with my fingers, why not just change them?



thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Open the hood & start the motor.

Set the hand brake really good.



In maybe 2nd or 3rd, gently let the clutch out just enough to load the engine.

See if the motor tries to move off the mount.



Try it again in reverse.

just give the engine a hug and shake it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

If you feel vibration when you accelerate then you need new ones. If you can shake the engine around then you need a new set of mounts.

If you think you need new ones then you need new ones.

thx.



well, how can you tell the motor vibration inside the car if the car is not shaking? I do hear a lot of noise from tranny housing area(something like that) when I accelerate. the car runs sluggish when shift in gear.



I will try to shake the engine. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif
