Thread: Problems with Prothane Mounts......

oh man I would have gotten that.

Prothanes should hold down some savage launches. Unless you dump the clutch over 5k or have crazy power...

Maybe rotted out control arm bushings?

I stood in front of the car and pulled the intake manifold back and forth ,no movement. I took a rod stuck it in between the firewall and the intake manifold pryed hard on it no movement.



That's what I am saying I don't understand why this is happening the mounts were from my b14 originally and that motor was solid as a rock. I have a brand new energy suspension master bushing kit installed in the whole car. The motor mount casings are all in good condition welds are intact.



I believe it's the motor because during launching you can feel the front end jerking, During driving, if I release the gas I can feel the motor kick forward, When I step on the gas again I can feel it kick toward the firewall you can also feel it through the shifter lever as well. This is bugging me out.


Why do people people continue to post usless bullshit in everyone of my threads take that shit somewhere else please.

Have you gotten back under it? Maybe some bolts fell out after you installed it.

Let me see if I can pull up a picture out of the fsm, I am missing 2 smaller bolts on the bottom of the trans it self. I did this for ease of access and 1 in the rear cross member the one that sits in the inner portion of the mount. Quick question on the rear mount I noticed there is 2 slots the mount can sit on on the block which hole should I be using? right now its in the upper bolt hole.

I have the same problem!! it feels like my motor mounts are trashed even though they are new. id really like to know how to fix this!!

Dude if you have bolts missing, or your mount possibly bolted up wrong, then that, I would say, is your problem. I only remember the rear mount bracket bolting up one way though. The auto and manual rear brackets bolt up the same to the engine. The only differences between them are the provisions to bolt the shifter stabilizer to the manual, and the auto mount is fatter, so the mount hole is offset a little. That being said, it should only bolt up one way really. IIRC it has 3 14mm bolts holding it to the block. 2 short, and 1 long.

I highly doubt that the 1 missing mount to block bolt in the rear cross-member is causing my issues though, they are not bolted up wrong though , everything is legit the same way it was removed.

II have all my bolts in, my mount is in good shape, i even solid mounted my bottom crossmember with washers... still feels like a broken back motor mount...

If everything is right, then maybe it's all in your head, lol. Don't our crossmembers have some sort of bushing too?
