Replaced Engine + Tranny Mounts
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2006 5:28 am
Broke down and ordered up some group-n sti mounts. Fairly easy to replace. Put her up in the air, removed all the lower mounting bolts, and pitching arm. Used a floor jack to lift motor and tranny untill the bolt studs cleared.

Getting the two rear bolts holding the engine mount brackets to the block out was a pain is the ass. Took a swivel-socket and some patience to get past the steering rack.
Transmission mount was pretty quick. I had to remove half the cross-member to get enough clearance to get it out but came right out.
Amazing that all the hardware is the same. Took about 3 hours from up to down
Got her all patched up and on the ground and wow...
World of differance
motor doesnt shake at all, used to move all over the place. Though it just shakes the chassis now
Overall much smoother on the on/off gas, and gave my motor a little lower rumble and sound like its running a little better.
