rear motor mount

[accordztech]

i had an issue with my rear motor mount in my accord, it went out with hydrolic fluid (auto trans only) all over the place. I can tell it went out so i replaced it.

now im about to purchase another cb7 but when i put it in reverse or drive... it kinda jerks a bit when it goes in gear, if u watch the motor you see it hop. (jerk is more of a nudge and not a harsh jerk...)

so first thing i said was, perhaps the front motor mount was blown (front motor mount good), then i looked at the rear and i saw that there was hydrolic fluid splashed but i couldnt tell if it was from the rear mount. the mount feels dry with no sign of leakage that i can see.

if i watch the motor while idling i can see the rear of the motor shake barley...so im guessing motor mount but i like to see things broken to make sure you know?

its a rebuilt tranny, same guy who rebuilt mine, shifts great and everything.

i just need a second opinion and ill start looking on how to replace it, im thinking of taking off the intake manifold to get to it since i got to replace some of the coolant lines behind the manifold anyways.

thanks.

theres no hydrolic fluid in the mount that i know of....it is vaccuum controlled however.

[accordztech]

look again.

autos have a hydrolic type and manuals have the rubber. haha i should know cause i replaced it already

Yeah it does have some sort of oil/fluid substance inside of the mount. My first one I guess was gonna go out or it was cracked. But I went ahead and swapped the H with it anyways. About a year later, that thing split in half and my motor was jerking all the time when i'm at idle or a roll shifting in and out of park etc.

Is it possible to swap out to a Dx or Lx tranny mount for the rear??? I want to use that one so I can use the energy suspension insert and have something that'll last longer.

yes, if you use the rear mount paired with the proper mount bracket for the back of the motor. doing this on an automatic would prevent it from breaking again, but will make the trannys shifts harder than normal, and it sounds like thats what he doesnt want.

there are already tapped holes on hte rear crossmember to accept a dx/lx manual mount...

damn you learn somethin everyday! haha my bad. I thought the fluid i saw in there was from a leak elsewhere cuz my mount broke once i boosted.

[accordztech]

hehe yea i didnt know it until it blew in my accord, and im like wtf is all this sticky crap

it fuked up the paint haha

Mine jerks really bad.
When I shift from P to D or R to D.
I was thinking about replacing rear motor mount controller,
and I am still stumped on it. No idea what so ever.
Two years ago, rear motor mount was replaced.
(Honda OEM parts brand new!)

Replaced only with Honda ATF-Z1 (made in Japan) every year using ATF changer.

ATF Fluid - clean & no problem.

my tranny sometimes you cant even feel it go into gear sometimes the whole car jerks, I replaced the front mount, theres only a little bit of vibration in reverse and very little at idle in gear

[accordztech]

our cars are old, it cant be helped that it jerks going into gear.

now when u have issues while it shifts, thats when things start to suck haha
