ok i just got a reco 2.6LT 4 cyl engine put in my TR Magna now on inspection the guy also changed 2 engine mounts thing was another was crack aswell the top passenger side now he said mitsubishi dont make dem anymore and that they make an insert which is very hard and is aftermarket.

he also said that these onlt crack if the cars been in a big front accident this also caue my car 2 shake wen air con is on.

duz any 1 know where i can get 1 or somthin????

mitsubishi dont make dem anymore

Rubbish they still make them there just too expensive I had to replace my front engine mount cost me $100 at Burson's and genuine was $240 I need to repplace my rear engine mount as well and Burson quoted $85 for that and there's is alot better because it's a sold rubber mount not like the genuine with the gaps which is why they crack and split.

The left and right side engine mounts yes still make them as well sounds like he's making it so he can charge you more for labour etc.

It's better to get them from Burson cause they sell the whole engine mount not only the rubber mount.

Only break in a big front end accident? Whoever was talking to you was talking a load of crap. All my engine mounts are pretty much gone, and I dont get any shuddering, only when i'm in Drive with Airconditioning on.

All my engine mounts are pretty much gone

:noway:

yer same with ac on thats wat happens with my car

as i know nothing about these cars and engines in just stating what i have been told by a repairer.

:noway:

Yer I know. Thank god I have my Black TS ready to go. I'm gonna get rid of the TR ASAP lol

he also said that these onlt crack if the cars been in a big front accident this also caue my car 2 shake wen air con is on.

duz any 1 know where i can get 1 or somthin????


howdy,

Does the car vibrate whilst in Drive at the lights?? and is smoother in Neutral?

Or only when the A/c is on?

Could be the radiator mounts.

it goes alot better wen in nutrul but i thought that was just cause it reved higher the guy said cause of the mount the AC will make the car vibrate.

should i get another mount of a wrecker or buy 1 and get it installed??

also this engine is less then 24 hours old and i got the CHECK ENGINE light lit up any reasons this could be on???

AC will make the car vibrate

Of course it will I have yet to sit in a car that doesn't vibrate more the AC is turned on.

If your getting the engine light on and satying on then you need to check it out and I suggest you go to someone else don't go back to that dodge mechanic that's taking you for a ride.

queensland section--> someone i think it's allan aka megatron selling polyurethane style engine mounts, these will last much longer than rubber ones; around 100$ from memory but read the stickied thread in there...

learn to spell dude ....

ok engine light has turned off nows....

ok well my mums pulsar dosent vibrate wen ac is onz its very good but i just cant believe its just the mount that makes it vibrate.

wat shop in sydney could i get them???

how hard is it 2 replace this mount??? is it an engine out job or wat??

When I bought my TR, the passenger side mount was stuffed. Took it for a test drive and it shuddered like all hell at low revs, like when stopped at a corner etc. I was lucky though, and I got the car dealer to fix it for free!!

ok kool so this mount makes the car shudder this is exactly wat mine is doing where can i find this thred with the guy selling the inserts???

Thats for Mitsubishi's, not most other models i've sat in.

^

yep, gotta love them

solid mounts may fix this problem.. ide be willing to try it for 80 dollars a pop if it was a chance of stopping the problem.

wat do u mean by soild mounts???

full steel???

Solid Rubber Mounts no holes like the genuine Mitsubishi have gaps but if you go to like Bursons Automotive they sell them sold no gaps last much much longer.

Piece of pie mate head down the wreckers and pick up a couple, changing them over isnt to difficult if you spend a few hours on it iv just upgraded mine

head down the wreckers and pick up a couple

That's if your lucky to find good ones I did that first and either they were gone or the wreckers wanted too much.

i payed 15dollar

or.. buy a magna from the quakko whole for 400bucks halfs with a mate hahah

The solid rubber mounts might (debateable) last longer, but the genuine mounts with contoured ends (or even the silicone filled ones) absorb much more vibration. My stock ones lasted 260,000Kms with very hard driving; is that long enough?

I replaced front/rear mounts with aftermarket inserts at around $27/each, and a machining shop pressed them into the old mounts for $15/each. The Right and Left mounts were not available aftermarket so I went genuine; they are running into their last few units in the country and not making any more. Also replace the damper unit as this will be well worn too, this was around $90.

Car drives much much better; no throttle delay or knocks on hard acceleration/braking.

yer i just bought a whole magna 2 wreck for $300 just gotta work out if he meant right mount looking into the engine bay or right mount as sitting in car lol????

any help. i think its the 1 on the right when u look into the engine.

I recently replaced my left and right mounts and front torque stay (mount). I had to go to a mechanic shop to press the new mounts i got from autobarn, aftermarket of course. They charged 50 dollars each one to press them in. The left and right mounts cost $79-89, yes each mount was a different price and the front mount/torque stay cost about $42. All were inserts of course. Repro had the whole mounting not just the insert for the front and back but left and right only inserts. They looked dodgy appearing to be filled with nothing more than silicone. Mitsu wanted $200 just to press the inserts into the mounts. I warn on the front mount, we stripped the bolt :redface: using them stupid teeth like socket instead of a proper hex shaped socket, luckily the mechanic charged nothing extra to remove it as long we supplied the replacement bolt and nut ourselves. Brand of the mounts was Kelpro or something. Now with aircon on and in drive it does not vibrate much and when i put into drive it does not go bang and leap forward. TR-TS magnas get the bad vibration with aircon on in drive because the mounts get firm with age and/or because the mounts are busted. My gregory manual was helpful in installing and removing the mountings by themselves and along with two jacks and decent spatial reasoning you can raise the engine to align holes to mounting brackets when reinstalling the bolts.
