Motormount install write up???
 

Does anyone know of a nice write up on installing motor mounts? Preferrably with pictures.

It's really not that difficult. I changed mine not too long ago. First drop the entire exhaust system with the exception of the exhaust manifold. Next remove the driveshaft. Then you should be able to loosen the bolts for the transmission support bracket. Before you do so, place a jack under the trans. and a jack stand for added safety. (If you have an engine hoist it would be a good idea to use it instead and lift the motor slightly) Now, loosen the bolts and remove them once you've done that you can loosen one motor mount at a time, jack up the engine slightly till you have enough room to take out the old motor mount and replace the new one. Do it for both sides and reassemble.

actually dont take anything off, i did it in about 45 minutes. just put a jack under the engine to hold it and unbolt the motor mounts, then just jack it up like 2 inches to get clearence to take the old ones out. then put the new ones in. the exhaust will flex just fine with the small amount of movement that is required. i suggest solid motor mounts, not much vibration at all. just do not put in solid tranny mounts, that is where all the vibration comes from. mine vibrates like hell but i dont care, that is my prefference.

Im going to be buying the Mazda Comp mounts through Mazdatrix

just put a jack under the engine to hold it and unbolt the motor mounts'.thats basicly what i did when i did my engine swap. i just jacked up my motor up and slided the new ones in. :bigthumb:
