motor/trans mounts

[Evol krap]

Is it safe to change all 4 motor mounts at once... my transmission just blew up im bout to have TRE rebuild it... my motor tips/rocks when i get on it occasionally... would yous recomend replacing "ALL" mounts with prothane mounts

Is it safe to use all 4 Protane motor/trans mounts... i had heard a little something bout it hurting the drive trains

You were misinformed my good man. It is completely safe to use all 4 mounts. I bought all 4 but I havent installed the rear one yet because I'm too lazy and it's going to be a PITA.

where can you buy all 4 prothane motor mounts?

You can get these from anybody authorized Prothane dealer..... Here's the part numbers.

1G - all 4 mounts Kit - 13-1902
2G - all 4 mounts Kit - 13-1901

You should look to spend about $61-$77 for the 1G kit and about $52-$66 for the 2G kit.

Tru i got the front,passanger and back already out so, due to the trans being shipped back to TRE im hoping for a good outcome with replacing all 4... also im puttin a B&m short shifter and Aluminum shifter bushings in... i heard good things bout them... hopefully this goes good

But is is safe to hold the motor and trans that stiff in a AWD

Safer than rubber.

I love my prothanes. Ordered from nopi.com. all four for $69.00

They are not solid. They are jsut stiffer than the rubber ones are.

They use rubber from the factory to improve the ride. Otherwise the car would be shaking to much. Since I installed mine the shifts are much more precise. I' have FWD though.

 

[RoasT BeeF]

They installed rubber from the factory to eat up engine vibrations and make the car more comfortable to drive. Same theory as the balance shafts...

TRu.. thanx

Exactly the opposite, the Prothane mounts better/safer than the stock mount.

The less the engine and transmission can move/flex out of place, the better the components maintain their position and correct geometery. This means less strain on CVs and everything else. It also means more power to the ground.

So go for it!!!!!

I have all four, put them in when I installed all my mods. Definately not for comfort, but I prefer them as I can "feel" what the motor and everything else on the car is doing when I am driving. I also have all the other poly mounts installed that are for the car. Rigid but not as bad as you would think.

 

[POlarSource]

I believe that is what I have.

If anything its going to be better than your "rocking" that you are currently experiencing.

Don't go cheap on them. I just pulled some out of a 95gsx that were flimsey as hell.

Get the Prothane set. It took alot of slack out of the drivetrain. Besides, from experience, the sidemounts are shot most of the time anyway.
