Depends on your skill level. If this is the first ever job you have done, then it's about a 4. If you've rebuit an engine, then it's a 1 or 2. The work itself isn't that hard, but the drivers side mount can be a pain due to access.

I have done nothing mechanical with a rotary besides tune up/ maintenance stuff.

I have done Honda motor mounts if that counts

is the vibration in cabin or in the steering wheel if you wanna change mounts do the two engine and the tranny mount. were not like honda with like 4 ( i think) engine mounts. because 80mph vibration in steering wheel is most likely a wheel balancing issue.

Yea...good looking out man.

Once I get the mounts. Ill give you a call. I dont know when this will be. But ill give you a call for sure.

EDIT: The vibration is not in the wheel. Just the cabin...makes my CD player skip like crazy. Shakes the whole center dash and is annoying as hell.

I will get the new mounts and rear end mounts.
