Thread: motor mount

just replaced the lower motor mount today had no problems thanks to the how to i have a stock 98 gt 3800 series ll no super charger any do it your self mods with minimal money would be great

Congragulations on the repair. Isn't it great doing simple tasks yourself, and saving lots on labour, and the double to triple charge of the parts.

I mistakenly went for the cheapest - a hydraulic motor mount - the first time. A year later I spent 2-3 hours mounting a polyeurathane transmission mount (less expensive than the rubber) for a mustang to the grand prix as the lower engine mount, a few spacers and 4 new holes (2 lower mounts, and 2 to access the upper mount in car) + 2 upper mounts reamed out. Im very happy with the results and if the transmission mount ever fails it will also be replaced with polyeurathane. (my engine is leaking a little bit of oil which may have helped destroy the hydraulic motor mount)

One great mod is rotating the square dogbone mounts 1/4 turn so that the more solid portion is going front to back, helping to hold the engine in-place slightly better. Remove the dogbone, Put bolt and nut back in place, put some wd-40 around the rubber and use 1-2 wrenches to rotate the rubber in the dogbone mount. remove bolt and reattach to dogbone.
