Engine ES Motor Mount "how to"

ES Motor Mount "how to"

Here is a nice "how to" about the motor mount install. The only thing that I would have done different is use a huge long extension to get to the bolt that goes through the rear mount, that way you can actually use a ratchet :wink:

what is the purpose of installing motor mount??? I have an Auto will it benefit me in any way??

you cant install it with an AUTO tranny.

It helps your suspension by helping with the weight transfer. Mainly when you takeoff hard... it reduces the "hop". It would take me about 2-3 seconds to grab... now it bites almost instantly. Also shifts are smoother. I love em' too bad they wont fit you ride, sorry.

I wouldn't install it with an auto tranny (it can be done) cause the vibrations are horrible from what I hear.

The benefit is putting the TQ that the motor used to twist itself in the mounts to the ground instead, making you faster. Granted, it's not by much. The most improvments are in shifting and taking off :wink:

Actually, as I just said above, it will fit fine but the vibrations on an auto are terrible :?
