AWR Racing motor mounts not working

[studboy13]

Hey, i bought these mounts cuz my old ones where shot so i decided it would be a nice upgrade with the ZE, im setting the motor right now, and the front one doesnt fit, does any one else have thesE? its too thin, there is like a 1/2 gap from the ends of the motor mount on the engine. help?

Like any aftermarket part, it need some TLC, you need a 5-6 inch 1/2 bolt with i think 3 washers on each side inside the brackets of the mount. It should fit nice and snug, you can just use the same bold with the washers but with the right bolt in there i think it would be better.

I don't know about AWR's one, but if the look is not important for you, have your old one "urathanaize" . It will be the same price or cheaper and for shure not bad (you will as well be able to choose comfort level )

[Smith18]

well he already bought them and installed them... it would be cheaper and easier to just buy the bolts and washers.... then switching out the mount again for a used filed mount...

[studboy13]

hey, the washers sound like a great idea, i will try it tomorrow. thanks

that was one thing i told AWR about, I guess they did not fix the problem.

If you get the Ford Probe/MX-6 Motor mount it fits snugly, where the MX-3 ones are too thin.

that's what I keep telling people... make sure you buy the probe front - it fits perfect - you just have to drill out the holes for the studs!

Solution MAZDASPEED mounts mine worked great no fitment issues

Solution MAZDASPEED mounts mine worked great no fitment issues

But way much more soft !!!

[Smith18]

and no option to get the extra stiffness that people want when buying AWR mounts over the mazdaspeed ones. Honestly i can dump the clutch alot higher now and it doesn't hop off the line (just straight spining haha no tires left!!).

[studboy13]

so i finally got the mounts on, 5 hours of work though, the fit it incredibly tight and they dont seem to be right, but its on and done now, wayyy to much work. im sore from how much i had to muscle the engine around

[Smith18]

yeah its easier with two people, and a hoist or another jack to jack up/down the engine.

[studboy13]

it was two people, just way to tight of a fit

[Smith18]

SUCCESS! how do they feel? awesome hey!?

[studboy13]

ha, ya, its nice to have em in finally, the last motor mount on top of the tranny is about a half an away from where iot bolts on. im guesing i just need to tighten it down,
