so i just got the 2.0 yesterday, and noticed a nice vibration at higher speeds. at first i thought it was unbalanced tires, but it only happens on acceleration at above 60 or so. after doing some research online, it looks like it's not the tires. my ? is what is the motormount next to the downpipe supposed to look like? my front one (i guess it would be the front one, the one closer to the front bumper) is perfectly straight, but the rear one (next to the downpipe) is angled to the left, it looks "crooked" for lack of better words.

could this be the problem? and if so, where do i get a new one? i know a guy that can help me put it on, so just looking for the part if that's the actual problem

 

Are you taking about the motor mount on the passenger side by the washer fluid or in the back of the motor by the exhaust? I didn't even know there was a motor mount back there ha ha. Sorry I can't help better never took notice to what it looked like.

 

turbotechracing got some sweet motormounts and if you buy one you get two trany mounts for 40 bucks.I'll take your old one off your hands

 

they have the upper mount, but i didn't see a lower mount.

 

the one ur talking about is the rear tranny mount.. they (TTR) have the inserts.. better value than the whole mount... i have my front tranny mount with the insert.. soon enuff the rear will be also

 

but will that fix the problem? it's the whole mount that is bent and angled to the side.

 

no ****... a pic is worth a thousand words

 

i jsut took one on my cell, it will be hard to see but i'm about to upload it.

 

Time to change the sig pic! lol Dude, I still havn't seen your car yet! Now I'll have to see yhe new 1.

As far as your prob, I have no idea?

 

I sent you the same info via PM, but for anyone else who may have this problem I'll post the same.

The rubber portion of the mount should be close to perpendicular to the power steering rack and also the ground as shown in the attached pic which I borrowed from ubergeff who did an excellent writeup in the how to section. The red arrow he has, points to the rubber insert and he has the bolts involved all circled. If any of these bolts are missing or that rubber insert isn't at a 90 degree angle to the ground and steering rack then the transaxle will be at an angle which would cause vibrations.

 

You need the stock trans mounts? I have the inserts I took outta mine. *shrug*
