Did you guys undo the engine mount/aluminum peice from the chassis, jack at the tranny and then some how undo the mount off?



suggestions? i'm in the middle of doing it and it's not easy.

where is 1revin7 or j9fds when u need them?

=)

your lucky i just did this last week



undo the stock mounts. jack up the motor, and slide the new ones in and bolt them down, finger tight. drop the motor back down and tight all the way down. and your done

or do it the "fun" way... pull ur engine,

that doesn't take 10 mins though

yeah put a jaques under the bellhousing if the tranny and unbolt the mounts and lift motor



it might be easiest to do one side at a time?

well i undid the tranny mount raise the motor. Slid both the mounts out and new ones in.



Now i got the passenger side to sit right, but the driver side won't slide in. ****.



I gave up, the leafs game is on.

to get it to sit right i had some one shake the motor

oh and i lifed the motor with a engine hoist, but you could put a piece of wood on a jack and lift on the oil pan. i nver indid the tranny

shake the engine? i tried, its heavy, it is being supported by a 3.5 ton jack with a peice of wood on the oil pan right now

=(

see if you can move the jack back and forth or lower it all the way, and see if you can get it to sit right and tighten it down

ok complete.



Here is a mini write up.



The first step is to prop up the car as high as you can on jack stands both for the front and rear of the car. The next step is to undo two screws that bolt the two tranny bushigns to the tranny craddle. This will allow the engine/tranny to be moved up and down later on.



2nd step: Remove your strut tower bar! REMEMBER TO DO THIS! very very important! espeically if you have the racing beat brace.



3rd step is to undo both the driver and passenger side engine mount from the chassis of the car. Once they are undone, take a jack and a peice of wood and place that between the jack and the oil pan. Carefully jack the engine up. Try to focus on the driver side first, as this is the hardest mount to replace. It does not have the "J" notch on the frame rail for you to get play. Wiggle the mount out and replace with new one. Start to hread the nuts back on the driver side mounts on the engine and chassis side after lowering the jack.



Next step is to do the passenger side, this mount will most likely be broken like my. Once you have the engine up about two inches you can undo the aluminum brace that holds the engine to the mount.



There are three 17 mm bolts on the oil pan, don't worry no oil comes out. Loosen those, then loosen the other nut on the engine mount for the passenger side. This will allow you to take the passenger side mount out easier. Start to thread the nuts on the monuts with the brace and reinstall.



Lower the jack and ensure the engine sits flush on themounts and tighten eveyrthing down.



Expect this to take you 1/2 a days work. (i'm slow it takes me 1 hour to put the car onto jack stands).



Next step, install racing beat turbo back system.

conclusions. Engine doesn't rock around like it used to. But i still ahve slop in the driveline. I think it's the diff mount.



BAH!

same prob here, tranny mounts are next on my list for solid replacements
