Motor Mount

The first step to replace the right Engine Mount requires users to disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable together with the throttle body air inlet duct. Begin by taking out the Engine Mount struts while using methods to raise and support the vehicle. The first step involves removing the right engine splash shield then the three-way catalytic converter pipe from its position connecting the engine right side Exhaust Manifold. After removing Engine Mount lower nuts you should position a block of wood between the Oil Pan and jack support to avoid any damage. First position the engine with the utility stand and wood block until it reaches the proper height and afterward eliminate the bolts which anchor the Engine Mount bracket to the Oil Pan and the Engine Mount bracket to the engine bolt. Remove the Engine Mount first and then disconnect both the Engine Mount upper nuts and the Engine Mount bracket and finally the Engine Mount from the Engine Mount bracket. Install the Engine Mount onto the Engine Mount bracket before putting on the Engine Mount upper nuts which should be tightened to 53 n.m (39 lb ft). Begin by setting up the Engine Mount bracket and its corresponding Engine Mount onto the Oil Pan. After completing hand-tightening for all of the Engine Mount bracket bolts (1, 2), proceed with the next step. Use the utility stand to lower the engine after screwing the bolts to 58 n.m (43 lb ft). Fit the Engine Mount lower nuts and torque them to 47 n.m (35 lb ft). First install the right engine splash shield followed by the right front wheel and tire before connecting the three-way catalytic converter pipe into the engine right side Exhaust Manifold. Installation of Engine Mount struts along with throttle body air inlet duct needs to be performed together with battery ground (negative) cable reattachment.

Test that absent Engine Mount fluid loss stems from the mount itself rather than nearby engine or accessory fluid leaks before doing a replacement. Attach the engine support fixture to lift the engine until the weight falls off the mount which produces elastic tension in the rubber. Compare the appearance of the Engine Mount hard rubber surface during engine elevation: replacement is mandatory when heat check cracks appear, when rubber loses contact with metal or if rubber splits along the center. Check for rubber separation between the Engine Mount metal plate and its mounting points. Lower the engine to tighten bolts or nuts between the Engine Mount and frame or Engine Mount bracket. The manual for automatic transmission mount replacement contains the necessary information about the transaxle mount.

Start by taking off the negative cable from the battery then remove the air inlet duct of the throttle body before beginning the right Engine Mount replacement. Proceed to take out the Engine Mount struts and then securely position the vehicle. The work begins with extraction of the three-way catalytic converter pipe from the engine right side Exhaust Manifold and subsequent removal of the right front wheel and tire and right engine splash shield. After removing the lower Engine Mount nuts you should place a wooden block between the Oil Pan and the jack support to avoid damage. You need to use both a utility stand with a wooden block to lift the engine before you take out the brackets connecting the Engine Mount to the Oil Pan and to the Engine Mount to the engine. Succeeding the removal of the Engine Mount bracket follows the extraction of the Engine Mount from its bracket, then you should take out the Engine Mount upper nuts. Placement of the Engine Mount on the Engine Mount bracket begins the installation process before tightening the Engine Mount upper nuts to 53 nm (39 ft. Lbs.). Use your hands to initially fasten all Engine Mount bracket bolts that connect the mount bracket to the Oil Pan before tightening them properly. Position the Engine Mount bracket bolt then fasten it to 58 nm torque (43 ft. Lbs.) before using a utility stand to lower the engine. Next install the lower Engine Mount nuts to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.) torque specification while installing the right engine splash shield and then the right front wheel with tire. Reconnect the three-way catalytic converter pipe to the engine right side Exhaust Manifold then lower the vehicle. After that, reinstall the Engine Mount struts and finally attach the throttle body air inlet duct before reconnecting the battery ground (negative) cable.

The replacement process starts with removing the transaxle mount bracket followed by tightening the transaxle mount lower nuts between the transaxle mount and transaxle mount frame bracket. Starting with the removal of the transaxle mount from its position within the transaxle mount frame bracket. Position the transaxle mount first onto the transaxle mount frame bracket following the fastener notice requirements. Install the transaxle mount lower nuts into the transaxle mount frame bracket while tightening them to 47 n.m (35 lb ft). Reposition the transaxle mount bracket onto its proper position on the transaxle.

In order to examine the transmission mount, begin by placing a wooden plank wide enough to cover the width of the Oil Pan bottom between the Oil Pan and the jack support in order to avoid Oil Pan damage and potential engine disassembly. Then, you could use a jack or a utility stand to lift the transmission/transaxle to relieve the weight on the transmission/transaxle mount and to stretch the mount slightly. Pay close attention to the transmission/transaxle mount for any type of wear and tear, such as the occurrence of cracks on the rubber side, separation of rubber from the metal plate or splits all the way through the center. In the event of the above conditions, replace the transmission/transaxle mount. Also if there is any movement between the plate (metal plate of transmission/transaxle mount) and transmission make the mount fasteners of transmission tighter, as per the correct tightening specification.

The replacement process for an Engine Mount bracket in front-wheel drive vehicles begins by taking off the throttle body air inlet duct as well as the Engine Mount struts. Rise and stabilize the vehicle before disconnecting the catalytic converter tubing from the Exhaust Manifold on the engine right side. The maintenance work begins with removing the right front wheel and tire from the vehicle and continuing with removing the right engine splash shield. Use a block of wood which covers the full width of the Oil Pan bottom when separating Engine Mount bracket-to-Oil Pan bolts before you insert the wood piece between the Oil Pan and the jack support to prevent any damages. A block of wood must be inserted between the utility stand and Oil Pan before you use the utility stand to lift the Oil Pan. First disconnect the Engine Mount upper nuts before separating the Engine Mount bracket from its mounting position on the Engine Mount. The installation process must begin with bracket attachment to the Engine Mount followed by mounting the upper nuts which should be tightened to 53 nm (39 ft. Lbs.). The utility stand helps lower the engine before you install the Engine Mount bracket on the Oil Pan while tightening its bolts to 58 nm (43ft. Lbs.). Reposition the right engine splash shield and right front wheel and tire before joining the catalytic converter pipe with the engine right side Exhaust Manifold. The last step includes lowering the vehicle along with installation of Engine Mount struts and throttle body air inlet duct reinstallation.

Start by removing the transaxle bracket, then take out the lower nuts from the transaxle mount frame bracket, and finally take the transaxle mount off the bracket. Start by mounting the transaxle mount to the frame bracket, and pay attention to the Fastener Notice given in Cautions and Notices during installation. Following that, turn the transaxle mount lower nuts onto the frame bracket, fasten them with 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) of torque, and then fix the transaxle bracket onto the transaxle.

To inspect the transmission mount, first lift and secure the vehicle and place a block of wood the same width as the Oil Pan bottom in between the Oil Pan and the jack support to avoid damage. Do not replace any transmission/transaxle mount with the suspicion that the fluid might be lost before the sealant and the spiral body of the sealant are inspected. Next, lift up the transmission/transaxle to relieve it of the pressure from the mount and make a little tension in the rubber. During this, pay attention to whether the mount has any indications of damage, like heat check cracks on the hard rubber surface, separation of the rubber from the metal plate or the bucket, or splits running through the center. In case any of the mentioned conditions or the transaxle itself needs replacement, carry out corresponding measures. Lower the transmission/transaxle and tighten bolts or nuts attached to the mount frame or bracket if the mount of metal plate is loose at the attaching points. Finally, lower the vehicle.

Start by elevating your vehicle to a stable position and then proceed to remove the parking brake cable then disconnect the left inner splash shield and finally the left tire assembly. Set up a transmission jack under the transaxle to remove the transaxle mount upper nuts which secure the transaxle bracket. Begin by lifting the transaxle assembly but with care before removing the transaxle mount lower nuts (Nuts) from the frame to extract the transaxle mount off the frame. Place the transaxle mount onto its designated frame position before installing the lower frame nuts (Nuts) and torquing them to 63 nm (46 ft. Lbs.). Position the transaxle to lock the mount studs into the transaxle bracket before tightening the mount upper nuts (Nuts) to the mount at 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Complete the installation by taking away the transmission jack from the transaxle and reinstall the left inner splash shield and put back the left wheel with its tire. Lower the vehicle to its resting position.

The first step to replace engine mounts should be removal of tire and wheel from the vehicle. You should remove the engine splash shield prior to moving on to the next step. The engineer should take out the nuts which hold the Engine Mount to the vehicle's frame. The first step involves placing an adjustable jack along with a block of wood under the Oil Pan then moving to remove the Engine Mount bracket bolts. Adjustable jack along with a block of wood will lift the engine up before removing the Engine Mount/bracket which later exits the vehicle. Place the Engine Mount/bracket to the engine and install the Engine Mount bracket bolts while following the specified sequence for tightening to 58 nm (43 lb ft). Let the engine reach the frame with the adjustable jack while removing the block of wood afterward. Take out the adjustable jack. Position the Engine Mount onto its frame nuts before torquing them to 50 nm (37 lb ft). After installation of the engine splash shield and tire and wheel the procedure is complete.

To inspect a/t mount first a block of wood of the width of the Oil Pan bottom shall be inserted between the Oil Pan and jack support to prevent Oil Pan damage and potential engine disaster. One should check the source of the fluid that has been lost before any transmission/transaxle mount is replaced on suspicion of the fluid loss occurred elsewhere. Lift the transmission/transaxle away from the transmission/transaxle mount to relieve the weight for the mount and the creation of a slight amount of rubber tension. As you lift the transmission/transaxle, also notice the transmission/transaxle mount and replace it if it is hard rubber with heat check cracks on what is left of the hard rubber, if the rubber is separated from the metal plate it is supposed to be glued to, or if the rubber is split down the middle. When there is any movement between metal plate of transmission/transaxle mount and attachment points, lower the transmission/transaxle on transmission/transaxle mount and tighten bolts or nuts attached to transmission/transaxle mount to frame or transmission/transaxle mount bracket.

Confirm that the engine mount contains the leaking fluid before deciding to replace it when inspecting the engine or accessories for the substance. The universal engine support fixture () lets you suspend the engine mount weight so it produces minor rubber tension. Check the engine mount when lifting the engine to see if heat check cracks appear on the hard rubber surface plus the rubber separates from its metal plate or the rubber breaks in the middle. A replacement is necessary under these conditions. Quake the engine with the mount until the metal plate maintains correct position to its connecting points. Tighten the frame or bracket bolts or nuts after the engine reaches its lowered position.

A replacement of the Engine Mount requires the first step to be disconnecting the negative cable from the battery. After disconnecting power the remove throttle body air inlet duct followed by the Engine Mount struts. Suspend the vehicle at appropriate height with engine support fixture (J28467-B) and combine it with engine support adapters (J28467-9OA) and engine support adapter leg set (J36462-A). In the replacement process you must first take out the right (rear) exhaust manifold three-way catalytic converter pipe as well as the right front wheel with tire and right engine splash shield. The next step requires you to remove Engine Mount lower nuts before lifting the engine with universal engine support fixture and uninstalling the Engine Mount bracket-to-Oil Pan bolts. Begin by removing the Engine Mount along with the Engine Mount bracket before removing Engine Mount upper nuts and the Engine Mount from the Engine Mount bracket. Your first step for installation involves mounting the Engine Mount onto the Engine Mount bracket followed by fastening upper Engine Mount nuts at 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Surely you can install the Engine Mount bracket together with the Engine Mount to the Oil Pan before you fasten the bolts to 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.). Position the engine into place before installing its lower mount nuts while torquing each to 43 nm (32 ft. Lbs.). Spare pieces include the right engine splash shield alongside the right front wheel and tire assembly together with connection of the three-way catalytic converter pipe to the right (rear) exhaust manifold. To conclude this process lower the vehicle then remove the engine support fixture while installing Engine Mount struts and the throttle body air inlet duct before connecting the battery ground cable.
