Anyone know where i can find oem motor mounts and how much they cost. ?

 

Mazdatrix.com has them for around $280 ea, or we can make you a set of polyurethane ones for $250.

 

Joeyz87 - go to the for sale section and put out a post WTB: oem motor mounts. You will have plenty of offers within a day or two. These are extremely expensive oem parts, almost $300 a piece. Used ones in great condition are still not cheap, but may be able to find someone that will give them too you a hundred a piece or so. This is what I did, saved me a couple hundred bucks, also you can look at "pucking" the ones you have. It requires you to take the motor mount apart and put in a polyurathane puck to cause the dampening. I have heard that it adds a lot of shiver and shake to the chasis. So do a search on motor mounts and read the different options, I hope you have enough patience to do that. Good luck.

P.S. - have you talked to a rotary mechanic yet? If not get on the phone and check it out. You will save yourself a lot of money and time. Trust me. Plus I am not giving up until you do.

 

You probably only need to replace the drivers side mount. It is aluminum, and prone to failure. They are now using steel/iron mounts on the drivers side. The passenger side mounts have always been steel/iron, and seldom fail.

 

that is true, most of the time. On the other hand, I had a bad passenger side mount. They take a lot after 12 years. I tightened up other stuff to make sure I don't blow through the ones I got in there now. ETB, gotham oil pan brace, and good mounts and I have little to no torque twist, even when getting on it. I love it. It is a sturdy ****. Drives way nicer. shifting is precise, I used to miss third all the time, put some Neo sythetic in there and its a smooth as silk.

 

sorry to jump in on your topic, but since i saw motor mounts...i had a question about a shaking shifter at launch. It shakes like really violently when i take off from a stand still. Tires do skip a little when this happens...what could it be? diff. mounts? engine mounts? PPF?

 

nobody?

 

its hard to get an answer when you hijack a thread. You might have to do an advanced search or start a new thread to find out, I wish I knew. sorry

 

OM Broken09. I used his mounts and they are the exact same as some of these $250 urethane mounts, but less than half the price. I recieved the part quickly as well! A+ guy.

WONG FRIED RICE - If your shifter is moving up and down alot when launching, braking, etc. And you hear a clunking from the rear when shifting hard, Its most likely your PPF. Mine was nearly broken in half.

 

transmission shake can be motor mounts, PPF, really worn clutch

 

yea..sorry about the hijacked thread!
but thanks i'll have my ppf checked out...i've been having this hunch that it was the culprit. thanks again! and sorry again for the hijacked thread!

 

I just snagged a pair of mint stock mounts for $100 in the FS section looking through old posts - guy was doing an LS-1 swap.
