I'm gunna guess this is why my car shifts like it's got VTAKK!

 

i know thats the motor mount...but i cant even tell what we are supposed to be looking at lol

is your mount shot??? i cant tell

 

Are we suppose to have the gaping hole on the bottom? It looks like it's separating to me.

 

what gaping hole lolol
i cant see anything there, the pic of the mount (im guessing that is what your tlaking about) is too fuzzy to tell

 

it looks like the rubber/plastic whatever it is made of is missing a chunk and you can see through it

im gonna guess thats probably not a good thing

 

 

id have to look at my stockers, but no, that does not look real good

 

first off, that's not a motor mount, it's a tranny mount. 2nd off, need to replace that asap. that's what stops the engine from moving too much, if you don't fix it, it will snap the other mounts. our engines like to jump around all over the place. at least get some new inserts.

 

all the ones i've seen are like that.....

 

Are you sure man, cause when I filled my stock mounts w/ polyurethane, they looked just like that. I could stick a screwdriver right through them. Part of the reason I think the stock mounts on this car are so shitty--way too much play in them. I have my stock one in a box in the garage and can take a picture if you want. To the OP, I'm pretty sure that's just how the rubber is molded, but I think a closer & more clear pic would help in case I'm just not seeing it right.

 

if your car is shifting hard, likely one of the trans lines were cut or is not making good contact

when i installed a b&m shiftplus, i spliced an extra wire on accident and the car did this (turned TC/ABS off, and made the shifts very hard especially 1st-2nd)
get it fixed asap

 

There are slits in the stock mounts. It's perfectly normal.

 

Are you people all high?

That's a tranny mount. Replace that ASAP or at least fill it with poly temporarily... i'd say get poly mounts IF and only IF you want your car to vibrate like my ex girlfriends ***** everywhere you drive it

 

Are you retarded? All of the stock ones are like that that i've seen so i'll go out on a limb and say that they're supposed to be like that for the sake of "comfort" from the factory. They don't want to fill them in (and even though it's rubber it'd still shake) and have people bitch about vibs.

 

I want to upgrade all the mounts as the motor wobbles about an inch and a half both directions. The rear tranny mount is seperating from the mount itself.

That is the front tranny mount, it's suppose to have indentions... a hole however, i'm not to sure.

Picture off the site....


no hole.

 

They have slits in them. I swear to god. I just put TTR mounts in my car. That one looks exactly like the ones that were on my car. If you're intent on replacing them though, I have my stockers I'll sell you. They're in perfect condition.

 

he DOES have a problem, but it likely is not related to the mount

 

lol... i just was making sure. My car jerks in between shifts... and the motor rocks way more than normal.

 

Ok, you guys. There is NOTHING wrong w/ the mount. All that happened was the very thin skin of rubber left over from the indents came out. It's like the little scraps of plastic that you get on the edges of something that was cast in two parts. Look at this mount and tell me those "holes" are not supposed to be there? The rubber just happened to break out in a perfect X pattern--I don't think so. In my pic below, the "holes" that form the "x" pattern used to be filled w/ a flap of rubber as thin as paper--ONLY a result of the manufacturing process. They have no structural integrity. If you're going to get new mounts, fine, but don't listen to everyone telling you that yours are broken. And why on earth would you NOT get the OTTP rotated mounts? They are in-freaking-credible. I feel like for every piece of valuable info. I hear on this site, I hear 20 things that are made up, heresay, conjecture, theory, etc.

 

Well I wasn't sure. I know something is causing the motor to rock much more than usual and this would be the first car I have owned or seen that has that cheap of tranny mounts.

Thank you for the pic.

 

ottp has auto trans rotated mounts?
kthxbai

 

Well from the shitty pictures it looks bigger than the hole that is normally there.

And no i'm not retarded. **** you and your Ion!

 

Next time you want to talk cars take your dress off and take a look under the car instead of blindly guessing.
My Ion > You.

 

shitty picture looks fine holes are there for a reason (vibes)

 

Where did he even say what car he has? How am I supposed to know what transmission he has? And if you have an AUTOMATIC and it's rocking during shifts, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's NOT the mounts. I would look at the transmission before the mounts.
