I have searched 'engine mount', 'tranny mount', 'mount'... cant seem to find anything.

I have also searched in the transmission section in the FSM and also the engine section.. cant find any info..

So i have boughted all new mazdatrix competition engine/tranny mounts, including the crossmember peice for the tranny... what is the best way to install these??, preferably without dropping the tranny, or taking the engine out.

Thanks a LOT,

Ben

 

i think the only way to do it is act as if you are removing the motor (unplug/unbolt everything) and use a hoist to lift the motor enough to change the mounts. i dont see any other way to do it. good luck

 

Put car on jack stands, put jack on front of transmission (bell housing..you might need to use a block of wood), unbolt bottom side of engine mounts, unbolt exhaust (at least the downpipe/midpipe section), jack the engine up a little bit (to remove slack), unbolt and remove transmission crossmember and mounts, jack it up a little bit more and unbolt the engine mount brackets.

Then go into reverse...

 

I take it you've done this before? Thanks for the help.

Anybody else?
