So I replaced them. No wonder it sounded like the engine was hitting the firewall every time I'd shift...
I can't wait to drive it in the morning and see how it drives!!!

definately should be an improvement
I am not wild crazy about that design anyways though, If those are aftermarket mounts they may pull apart the same way but with less mileage.
How about the rest of your mounts?
The transmission mount is fine. As is the side mount. The dogbone bushings are probably annihilated, since after driving it this morning, there was improvement, but it wasn't 100% better.
Could just be it's not smooth due to the light flywheel. I dunno. I didn't notice it when I first put it in.
I replaced all my motor mounts when I did my used engine swap. I was so excited about it being all smoooooth. Of course, the engine turned out to be completely screwed, so all I've gotten is crazy vibrations at idle that shake the steering wheel.
Never, ever, ever will I do another used engine swap.

hey 2ndgen whered u get the mounts? i found out my rear mount was missing half the bolt so i figured i would just replace the entire part....
Ah yeah, I just picked them up at NAPA. They had them listed as the rear mount for like an 85 Prelude. Make sure you look at a picture of what you're ordering before you get it, or you'll never get the right mount.
i should replace mine but i want poly mounts
