Hello again Jimmy Thank you for another Great Video.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks again George! Appreciate you leaving a comment!

[@rcjames5286]

Another great one. Thank you

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks very much James!

[@complexityatitsbest]

you don't need to necessarily remove the skid plate on the bottom to remove the rear mount. You can remove the nuts holding the mount in and remove it Tetris style from above well the airbox is out. Good video non the less

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you.

[@tsvguy]

Have some beers while you are doing stuff

[@livewireredb.9953]

I replaced the front one without a jack. I'm going to need a jack for the others.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, have to unload them to get the studs to clear. :)

[@jdphatsax]

Can I ask anyone in this comments group a quick question??? I have a 2011 Corolla with 175,000 miles on it... I was driving the other day and the car began shaking and banging hard. The tranny was working smooth prior to this but the car was not really driveable. I then put the car in low gear and shifted to 2 and 3 to get the car back home so to me it doesnt seem like an issue with the tranny because again, when I was manually switching gears, the car was swapping gears smoothly but the shaking seemed to persist. I was thinking maybe the motor/tranny mounts are bad since they most def never been changed but I am afraid to buy/install the 4 motor mounts to find out its something else alot more expensive because I really dont want to spend too much money fixing something like the tranny when it already has almost 200K miles on it....Hopefully my quick write up will help to let you know if you think the issue could stem from old/worn out mounts. The video was very helpful, but there was no real talk about why they were replaced in the 1st place.. the car seems to idle normal without much shaking or anything but like i said driving was basically not possible till I was shifting myself and still wasnt a great ride at all. I only drove less than 1/4 mile back home when I started to have the issue. Thanks for your time and anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

This car had a rough feeling in the steering wheel. No banging or transmission shifter manipulation at all. It sounds as though you have a mechanic engine or transmission problem. I’d have it looked at asap!

[@jdphatsax]

@@JimmyMakingitwork thanks for the reply!!

[@thesalvadorfamily5728]

We’re those OEM Toyota mounts? I replaced all mine with standard ones off rock auto and the car vibrates worse than before 😂. Heard only thhe expensive OEMs don’t have that issue

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, some aftermarket ones will work, but the really cheap ones are only good to replace broken ones if you don't mind some vibes.

[@kokomonfil]

Hello, i have a 2000 corolla ce, but i don't know if get the mounts in ebay

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I would avoid the really cheap mounts, I've had problems with them. Try to find mounts at Auto Zone or Napa that are brand name. OEM mounts would be best, but a little more expensive.

[@k2cold956]

What are the names of each mount? In Particular the second

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I identify them as engine front, engine rear, engine side and trans mount.

[@58gennaro]

I have an 09 vibe with a 2.4l. Should the process basically be the same? Thanks.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yes, I think they are basically a Toyota Matrix underneath?

[@porterporter5506]

Must be nice to work on vehicles that have zero rust with that mileage. I live in the rust belt, keep your tongue, mouth, and eyes shut and hope the rust ,or bolt breaks. We say, cant be stuck if your liquid

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah, I get to work on rusty stuff every so often. But it sure helps to have torches and inductive heaters!

[@myifamily06]

Man you are so calm working on a car. I lose my temper too easily when I'm doing stuff on any car. It's probably because I don't have power tools and or not always having the proper tools. I do love getting my hands dirty but I hate when I run into issues that delay my work like a 15 min job became a 2 hr job lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

True Martin, having the right tools helps a lot! Over time you learn to deal with the stress of tackling issues all day I think. Basically all day long everything is a problem, being a mechanic, so you row the best you can! :)

[@timklein3962]

Yep; exactly; and having a lift would make life a lot easier too !!

[@jonathankuzmeskus2135]

It’s just the nature of working on vehicles. Things always take longer than you’d expect. Definitely having the correct tools helps.

[@adamkurniawan6156]

That bolt you pulled out at 1:38 completely sheared off on my 97 corolla, do you know what part number to order for that replacement?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man I do not know a number for that. I usually find odd hardware at a good hardware store, or local salvage yards.

[@peanut_bear8049]

Hey thanks for this video. What’s the torque setting for the center crossmember for the front and back?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I usually use my mid torque Milwaukee impact to tighten them without torquing. But it’s likely 80 ft lbs. for 12mm bolt threads…usually bolt diameter determines the torque used. If they are 14mm thread 100 and so on. I don’t know the exact specs off hand.

[@richardkarneth7962]

Why do these guys fail to mention the car year?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Not sure who the other guys are, but most Corollas are very very similar, this was a 2008, similar from 1998 to 2016. Only minor differences.

[@RobertWierzbowski]

That is a CLEAN undercarriage for 200k

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yes it is!

[@Stonehands75]

Always A pleasure and I use an old key holder that you put on your belt put a magnet on that side and clip the other to the light to help with gravity checks Keep them coming

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha,, great idea Tim, thanks very much!

[@Ezq95]

I changed the front engine mount and took me 35 minutes to changed. Toyota OEM mount. 2012 Corolla SE with 118k miles. The mount wasn't that bad. I will be changing the rest soon

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Nice work, they’ll make a big difference!

[@gerardomacias8130]

Guys telling me all four mounts plus work is about 700-800 about half each am I tripping ?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That isn’t too bad. Try to use OEM mounts if possible. They transmit less vibration that other brands might.

[@OscarHuerta-h9c]

nice work. you sound like trump btw . makes watching the video a bit more fun i must say

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, these mounts are ugly, believe me, when I came into the room I said these mounts are ugly, everybody knows.

[@frank1980ize]

I'm getting mines install now. My car has 207k miles. I paid about 225$ for the labor.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That is a great deal! It takes a few hours.

[@NIP28]

Where did u buy the new mounts?

[@jeremyhassell7911]

What's that socket extention called you have for removing the first mount?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I used a MAC transmission extension for some bolts. The rest were from GearWrench, or Williams.

[@nomadyesmad4875]

I'm the original owner of a 98 Corolla 107,000. How likely would engine mounts be a problem on it.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Quite likely based on age. The symptom would be vibration at idle, buzzy feeling. Also excess engine movement going into reverse and drive if they are bad.

[@girohead]

Same car, same year, hope I don't need motor mounts, nothing implies that I do.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

You would feel the motor move a lot when accelerating, or feel it vibrating thru the seat and wheel. If not you’re good to go!

[@pitbulllover6152]

How much does all 4 cost with labour?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Can't say from memory, but I'd guess $700-1000. Prices can change pretty drastically based on location and current market though.

[@pitbulllover6152]

Thank you. I appreciate your reply. I have a 2013 Corolla with 119 k miles. According to the mechanic he said I need all 4. Toyota's made in the US are not what they used to be@@JimmyMakingitwork

@@pitbulllover6152 sorry to hear that man my 2009 Corolla which is the first year of this generation, yours is the last year. Mine is Japan built and I have 297,000 miles on it only have had to replace the radiator, an OP switch and all four ignition coil packs that is it other than normal maintenance. Mounts obviously still original and still runs smooth as silk.

Thanks for the visit and the positive comment especially Luxury Channel!

[@fowad78]

Which brand you used, I used anchor and westar for my Toyota matrix 2007 for transmission mount but holes are not lineup, anyone know any solution Thanks

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I use a step drill to enlarge the holes a bit to get the cheaper mounts to fit. Try and mount it solidly in a vice to make it safer to drill if possible.

[@reaksmeymaranda2341]

I know it’s 10 months late reply, I have the same problem with the rear motor mount for my 2007 matrix that I bought from Part Source here in Canada where one of the bolts didn’t line up the the hole in the frame so I returned it. The rear mount from Toyota cost about $300 compared to the $60 from Part Source.

[@pitbulllover6152]

Jimmy, Can you please tell me what is a good place to buy these mounts? I would really appreciate it

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

We got ours from NAPA, but the best parts will be from the dealer, not cheap, but give the best feel as far as vibrations and feel. Hope this helps.

[@pitbulllover6152]

@@JimmyMakingitwork Thank you so much.

[@thestig1899]

What brand wrench are the extra long ones you use ?

Those are Mountain wrenches if you mean the flex heads, GearWrench brand for the solid ends with one box and one ratchet side.

[@auck1969]

Great tutorial but please post the year of the vehicle you're working on. Many channels don't do this. Just a thought. 👍

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I usually mention it in the video. But I’ll make a note!

[@alexjemz4566]

Was that OEM Parts? Or aftermarket?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Aftermarket, but I highly recommend OEM, although a bit more expensive, noticeable smoother vibes.
