The pic's aren't really clear, but the first mount from what I can see is the passenger side motor mount. The other mount as far as I can see is the top tranny mount. You should have also gotten the front tranny mount & according to Derrick @ Corksport they can't get the rear mount. I got the side motor mount, top tranny mount, & front tranny mount when I got mine. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

you guys make changing motor mounts sound so easy! I was under the impression that the motor had to be removed to put the mounts in. For those who are changing them yourselves, how are ya doin it? I need to change the one on the drivers side badly.

So id suggest filling the rear with some of the 3M stuff, because otherwise, the 3 aftermarket ones will put a LOT of stress onto that rear.

Thats what is was thinking of doing to my rear mount in the future sometime. Derrick told me the stock rear one would be fine.

well i got an email back today and heres what they wrote<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Hello <P>We have only sold the 2 mounts in the kit for the last several years. I have had people request the 4wd front mount from the 323 GTR occasionally but it is not part of the kit. We don't have any in stock right now. It will be about 3-4 weeks until we get more back in stock. I could sell you one with free shipping if you like when they do come back into stock if that would work for you. <P>Derrick <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>so i'm gonna call them tonight and find out for sure and maybe order a act clutch <BR>i also just got my pro lx ecm yesterday, everythings coming togethere

You may need to place a jack under the tranny or engine to get the bolt holes lined up. Careful where you place the jack - might want to place a piece of wood between the jack and the engine/tranny. Or, you can use a chain-fall/cherry picker to take up the weight by pulling from the top on the engine hooks. You really don't need to apply much force to get the engine to move to where you need it.

i had mine filled with a 2 part filler that bonds with the rubber. it is a whole lot stiffer but still flexes a little more than my buddies talon polyurethane mounts but not much more. its a good cheap upgrade if u got the time to do it. just go get some urethane filler and go nuts. i got the 2 part stuff cause it dries with the use of a hardener not air drying.....air drying takes too much time--12-20 hrs.
