Coupe GT engine mounts replacement

84CoupeGT · 15-04-23, 10:39 AM

Hi all

I'm going to replace the two main engine mounts soon, I've ordered them in already (type as in the picture). I think the originals on the car are very tired as the engine is very close to the subframe and I'm getting a clonk and other odd noises in reverse.

The Haynes is vague on this, just wondered if anyone has done these before and had any tips/advice please? Is it as easy as hoisting the engine up slightly and replacing?!!

The 4 subframe to body bushes, and the main gearbox mount have already been done. Should I bother with the front snub mount as well?

Cheers

Have you got access to a lift? Easy job from underneath. Just support the engine from below as you replace one at a time.

Unfortunately not, only ramps or axle stands. I could get it up on the ramps and then jack the engine from below or raise it using an engine support bar though. Managed to do the clutch that way so hopefully this will be a cakewalk in comparison, famous last words

Go for it!
Remember to swap the heat shield over from the old mount on the exhaust side
