2G Subframe motor mount

[2g2fast]

Just wondering how hard it would be to change the subframe motor mount?

Any pointers or tips?

The one under the engine?

yes right under the turbo

Not that hard. Sorta, but I would support the engine, remove the 5 bolts holding on the brace, then install the new mount. And then install the brace bar. The loñg metal the the brace connects to. Then mount the engine to it. I mounted then tried installing the brace. One bolt won't go in. Too much pressure.[DOUBLEPOST=1409410319][/DOUBLEPOST]That's for the 1g. I doubt much mounting has changed.

It's easy once your gotten the car on jack stands and the motor/tranny supported with a jack.

sorry if I'm mistaken, but if you're referring to a 2g there's no motor mount under the turbo, it would be in the rear under the intake manifold

There most certainly is a roll stop on the front side. It is just to left of the turbo a little lower bolted to the front of the transmission.

That mount is bolted directly to the body though, not the subframe

You mean the front to rear crossmember.

Could you post a pic of the mount you're referring to?
