2012-2015 Honda Civic Lower Torque Mount Replacement DIY

Here is how to replace the lower torque mount or rod in a honda civic. No need to support engine, just unbolt and replace. Sorry for the shakiness, really difficult to film on ramps. OEM torque mount (CVT) amzn.to/2GOyt2I

Im a old, 98 year old widower who just changed my motor mount. Thank you for your video.

[@terran236]

I think this is exactly what my car needs every time I stop or change to park or drive or reverse or any sort of change I can use some sort of jerking. Today I had somebody change to park and drive while I watch the engine from the front and sure enough the thing looks like wants to pop up everytime the gears changed. Thank you very much for making this video. it's a lot easier than I thought!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Inspect and change if needed

[@johngraham2470]

Also check engine mount. I just changed torque and engine mount today.

[@terran236]

@@johngraham2470 same, i changed mine and it was totally torn from both sides of the bolt hole.

[@divinemessenger2030]

25 yo woman and I managed to changed my passenger side mount and wow what world of a diff. Gonna use your video to change this one now cus there’s still a lil vibration at the floor of the car and my mechanic told me this mount needs to be changed. I’ll update once I get to it. Dealership been really hard with getting parts lately though I hope they have this one or I will have to go aftermarket and I really don’t want to.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Check it first before replacing, don't take their word all the time.

[@jerrylive365]

Dealer wanted 375 dollars to do this job. Thank you for this video!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Crazy. Thanks for watching.

[@gangsta71kid]

That mount looks small in pictures but when it came in the mail today that thing is huge lol

[@MrRangerZr1]

Lol

[@walrus_man]

Will you ever make a video of how to change the transmission mount? Thank you!

[@johnathankidd9461]

Can you post a video of changing out the transmission side mount on drivers side on a 2014 Honda civic sedan?

[@gigatron2008]

Awesome DIY! Im doing my 2012 Civic Si today. Assuming the torque specs are the same. These were hard to find!

[@Luddynetwork]

Was it the same?

[@AndreiGrozea]

Reckon this would be the culprit that causes my entire car to shake if I'm not super smooth with the clutch or if I break traction? I will inspect the other mounts for damage too, but this is super easy to get and replace.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes worn mounts can cause excessive vibrations

[@perjian1697]

Great video. Direct and short.

[@mehrooshmalik6526]

I love all these vedios, yall so helpful, i am going to change mind tomorrow this helped alot❤😂🎉

[@N0Sbackfire]

did you have to jack up the engine as well to do this? or was it fine on it's own? I have a 07 LX and looking to put an after market one on soon.

[@MrRangerZr1]

No you don't need to support the engine.

[@kneebarx]

I was having a vibration on the floor of my car you can feel it in the steering wheel and the seat and this got rid of the vibration after I change that. i changed the top two already as well

[@EndlesSuffering]

Do you still have the civic? I’ve noticed I can feel the vibration on the floor, it’s probably the lower engine mount and not the right passenger one right?

[@kneebarx]

@@EndlesSuffering You don’t wanna hear this but I had to change them all they each cause a different vibration. check them out on the passenger side that one you can see easily if it’s ripped

[@kneebarx]

@@EndlesSuffering research each individual motor mounts if you’re buying aftermarket. some they just will not fit and you will have to fabricate the mount holes. you have to use different brands for different locations. don’t buy the whole set

[@EndlesSuffering]

@@kneebarx when you replaced the engine mounts, when you change from park to drive or to reverse do you feel that vibration? Is that because of the transmission mount? I’m probably going to buy aftermarket for the bottom one and the transmission one but oem for the hydraulic one on the top passenger side

[@kneebarx]

@@EndlesSuffering the top ones u can look to see if its bad

[@supamariosoniku]

I have a 2013 Honda Civic EX (automatic). I know a master mechanic that told me that I need a rear motor mount. Any time I shift into reverse there’s a slight jolt, the engine seems to vibrate, also sometimes when I’m driving, or accelerate around 45-50mph, it’s like my car is trying to give it’s all, but it doesn’t. Is this torque part the same as a rear motor mount?

[@MrRangerZr1]

This mount does usually go first, check the rest of the mounts as well.

[@syfax3697]

Hey, I have the exact same problem, did you solve it??

[@stockpicksbytim1228]

I have this same problem seems common, any updates?

[@walrus_man]

Than you for the like! Sorry fore all of the questions, but I was reading the comments and so to clarify - the transmission mount is the mount under the air box, ECU? Thank you!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes

[@walrus_man]

@@MrRangerZr1 thank you!

[@purpledonatello]

Please show us replacing transmission mount. It looks like there’s some bracket blocking it I dunno.

[@MrRangerZr1]

That mount under the airbox requires you to remove the airbox, ECU, and battery IIRC.

[@MrRangerZr1]

You support it from the oil pan because the cross member is in the way.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Nah it won't, the other mounts are still in place. Just don't lower the jack with the motor mount disconnected lol

[@purpledonatello]

Ok thanks, wait a minute there looks like a splash guard to be removed. I’m sorry for mentioning a bracket. I’m gonna jack both sides engine and tranny.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yeah...I think you have to remove the metal splash shield. Service manual says to support the transmission.

[@sgtbananas3521]

I know I am late to the party but I have vibration in the cabin. Somewhat noticeable and the engine is shaking rapidly. Not bad shaking just barely noticeable. Would that be a bad torque mount? Oh, I hear clunking of metal on the backside of the engine too.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes check that and the other mounts too

[@CarGuyCole360]

Got a replacement the other day. I hit a brick on the freeway at 70mph, it hit the subframe in 2 places, cracked the oil pan and shattered the torque mount. It hit the subframe in such a precarious spot, the torque mount CANT be reinstalled until i replace the subframe. Brick+lowered car=fucking expensive

[@MrRangerZr1]

Damn. Used to be on bags, gotta completely change driving habits when lowered.

[@19993gt]

Good job mate

[@skyguy1988]

I think i need this. I feel a weird vibration/knock when i accelerate or even when I start the car up :( bah

[@MrRangerZr1]

check it before replacing but yes can cause knock and noise

[@johngraham2470]

Is it necessary to put any kind of support on engine or transmission or on something while removing torque mount to make sure nothing falls? Thank you.

[@MrRangerZr1]

There are other mounts holding the engine in places

[@johnnyspeedy1344]

Looking for advice. I have a 2011 Honda Civic ex...what would be good coil overs for my car for around 500$-600$ that are a good brand?

[@MrRangerZr1]

For a daily driver go with lowering springs and shocks to go with it.

[@johnnyspeedy1344]

MrRangerZr1 I’ve heard that if it’s a daily driven car I should go with lowering springs instead of coils..why is that?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Coilovers are for aggressive driving or track use, they have a lot of adjustments.They also ride hard.

[@johnnyspeedy1344]

MrRangerZr1 you have lowering springs on your Honda?

[@MrRangerZr1]

No coilovers. Will get lowering springs soon.

[@johnblunk2012]

How were you able to diagnose this mount as the problem mount?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Inspection. It’ll cause excessive movement and noise when broken.

[@johnblunk2012]

@@MrRangerZr1forgive my ignorance.. so currently if i put my car in drive with the parking brake on and rev the engine it will lift up. in reverse it does the opposite. is that the movement youre talking about? cause if im not mistaken there are 3 mounts in total for the engine. i do have a feeling that it is this mount that is broken and is allowing the engine to move like this.

[@MrRangerZr1]

@@johnblunk2012 Check the mount, you can see if it's torn or not

[@terran236]

​@@johnblunk2012 mine currently does this. Gonna change it for sure.

[@HarryWangHungLo]

I spy a lower front lip at the beginning of the video. What brand?!?! I have a 2013 Civic and it needs a little something there. Thank you!

[@MrRangerZr1]

It's a universal rubber lip. They have various specific lips for the civic, just check online.

[@hrzgrk4191]

hi dear, my 2012 civic vibrates when taking reverse after cold start , how to know which mount need replacement, thanks in advance.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Inspect all of the mounts for cracks

[@RampartPh]

do the replacements parts relatively come close to the performance/durability of the oem ones?

[@MrRangerZr1]

No. Get it done right the first time by going with OEM parts...if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.

[@carlosa3727]

How much would one spect to be charged for this job with parts. My 2015 civic needs the lower and right mounts replaced.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Rough guess in today's world would be $300-$500 or more

[@GeorgeFhore]

Hey how do you know that it's bad?

[@MrRangerZr1]

It'll be torn and cause knocking motions/noises

[@dee-zzz]

hey bro i got a question, whenever my ac is on it makes my car shakes, do u think its an engine mount?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Could be a worn mount. In general, a 4 cylinder car in load will vibrate. If it's a lot of vibration, check the mounts.

[@Killmonize]

When I put my car in reverse is makes engine jump. And vibrate. Would it be this mount?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Could be. Check all the mounts and replace as needed.

[@rubenvapor2272]

is this automatic or manual transmission ? 1.8l engine ? thanks in advance

[@MrRangerZr1]

CVT 1.8l

[@lexmichael2040]

If I do backing up on a parking lot I’m hearing a cluncking sound underneath could it be the reason?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Could be. Check all of the motor mounts.

[@lexmichael2040]

@@MrRangerZr1 fosho! thank you Boss

[@kneebarx]

How do you know if you have to change this

[@MrRangerZr1]

Excessive engine movement or juddering in the cabin.

[@RampartPh]

i had the same question in mind

[@micahwinters7021]

Would a bad mount like this cause excessive vibration?

[@MrRangerZr1]

If it's worn out? How else.

[@micahwinters7021]

MrRangerZr1 I was just curious cuz mine is vibrating pretty bad. Started with reversing and now it happens when In drive. I’m pretty sure it’s the mounts, I just was curious if you were experiencing the same problem

[@chupapi0077]

is this the same on a coupe? 2014?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes

[@Miguel-eo6td]

Hey man! Do you know how long the bolt is? I know it’s 17mm. I changed my oil and realized one bolt is missing. Would any 17mm work? Thanks....

[@MrRangerZr1]

Which bolt is missing? Replace it with a OEM bolt.

[@Miguel-eo6td]

MrRangerZr1 Thank you for replying and one from the torque mount is missing. Do you know the part number for the bolt?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Get it from the dealership...weird it's missing.

[@MrLew1965]

Why was this Torque Rod replaced ? TY

[@MrRangerZr1]

Excessive movement from the engine. You can tell by excessive movement from the engine or knocking noise when you press the gas.

[@MrLew1965]

@@MrRangerZr1 My vehicle is vibrating at the seat and steering wheel when warmed up at Idle only...Do you think replacing this part will solve the vibration issue ?
