I have a 95 tsi fwd and my mount broke the one towards the back that connects to the transmission.

My question is...
Will a mount off a 96-99 eclipse with a 420a engine fit my turbo one?

I'm thinking about changing all 4


And will I have to drop the tranny or engine to replace them? What about if i try changing one at a time?



I don't have a hoist to raise the tranny or engine that's why I'm asking.

No it will not, they are completely different engines and have different mounting locations

Good idea, depending on the condition of the other 3, if you can afford it I definitely would.

The only one that would be difficult to get to is the rear, many put this mount in when the motor is out. I know you can drop the subframe to get to it, but thats a bit of work. I am sure there are people who have gotten it in without removing anything, but had a lift.

goodluck
