Ok.... This weekend I got bored and decided to try this mod I saw on a few other forums where you take Windsheild Urethane and fill in your mounts. I assume its works for all the mounts cept our dogbone lower type we have. Its suppose to make them firmer..... blah blah blah. So after getting some high viscosity windsheild urethane from my job
crl900hv its a quick cure but takes around 2-4 days to fully cure. I recommend you let it cure for 2 days then install it. Let it idle with a few bumps of the throttle to set it in. Then let it sit for another day or two. If you dont it will just loosen and will not work as well (I found out). The page i got this idea from used 3m from discount but thats $13 compared to $3.50 from my job. It took 2 tubes and still had someleft. ***** Try at your own risk****
____________
1. Support the motor next the lower mount on the passanger side.
** Forgot you need to mover the coolant thingy. (10mm and plires)
2. Unbolt the 3 bolts that hold the mount. Then the two bolts that bolt to the motor. ( 15mm)
3. Take it out.
4. Unbolt the mount so its two parts. (theres 2 bolts 13mm)
5. Clean it real good with a degreaser.
6. Take the urethane and squirt it in every gap you can find.
7. Put the part of the mount on with the two bolts.
8. Keep squirting.
9. Water and your finger to smooth it out.
10. Put on gloves! its too late now! This @!#$ is nasty!!!!

The outcome..... much stiffer!!! Engine barley moves and no vibes! Firmer shifts!!! Im impressed.
actually in going to ditch it for the TTR one soon. i have the lower and tranny mounts on the way. just need cash and im going to throw the stock one out anyway.
I actually like the mount! It got a little stiffer since I installed it. Feels great compared to what I had before... The engine barley moves. Once I get my rk lower mount and poly trans mounts from TTR I will see how it does then. Later I might get the TTR upper and see how it is compared to this one. But I really like the results.
im thinking of redoing the mounts in my 2.2 5spd, could somone direct me to a thread that might have pictures?
Thanks.
