Replacing motor mounts
Replacing motor mounts
Hi All. I just replaced the front left Trans mount on my 2001 Bonnie because it was trashed and the engine was bouncing around. Luckily that is the easy one. Now I am planning on replacing the other 3 mounts. My question is can I do them one at a time or should I do all at the same time. And is there any particular order they should be done. Are there any videos on how to do the right side. TIA

Re: Replacing motor mounts
The front one is what usually causes issues. What makes you believe you need to replace the others?
Re: Replacing motor mounts
While the new trans mount made a big difference, it still feels a little "soft" compared to 4 years ago when the car had 45000 miles. Now it has 102000 and I just think that after 15 years the mounts probably should be replaced.

Re: Replacing motor mounts
Understandable. Does the drive train feel like it's still moving around? Rough shifts?
Re: Replacing motor mounts
Yes. There still is a little movement and slightly rough shifting. I replaced the right side mount this week. I didn't realize that the engine hangs off the 2 side mounts. It helped a little more. I will replace the lesft side trans mount next week then the rear center trans mount. I suspect the rear trans mount could be the source of the problem. If the problem still isn't fixed after all the mounts are changed I will start looking at the CV joints.
Do you have any other ideas?

Re: Replacing motor mounts
You might be experiencing the max adapt shift code (P1811). Do your rough shifts occur when the car is warm? A shift kit cures the issue, and is easier to install than the mounts.
