Motor mounts

Post by Ohiokudzu »

Does anyone know how many motor mounts the 2004 GXP has? I’ve looked online and I see groups of 3 and a set of 2 for the 2004 model. Should the tranny mounts be replaced when the motor mounts are replaced?

SE/SLE/SSEi have 3 transmission mounts and 1 engine mount
GXP has 2 transmission mounts and 2 engine mounts.

The most common failure ones are the front, whether they are transmission mounts or the engine mount on the GXP. The side mounts don't really fail, but if the rear transmission mount has been dealing with a failed front for a long time it can take them out as well. I'd start with just the front.
