DIY 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Honda Accord 2.4L Replacing Driver Side Transmission Engine Mount

[@lukey6544]

I didn’t even know what was the motor mount until now, great thanks to you for this video, 🙏

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Glad we could help!

[@MrFakherabbas]

I changed my Accord’s passenger side mount thanks to your video on that. Great 👍 keep going

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you! Appreciate the support.

[@Drewlinska]

this was so helpful, very easy project and saved me so much money. thank you! I recommend replacing with OEM parts if you wan to go back to a brand new car feel and it will last much longer. I'll keep and eye out for the 2 other mounts if MCM does them. Hope to get another 200K out of my 2013.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you for your support. Hopefully soon I’ll be doing the other 2 mounts as well.

[@bronniesboy]

What was the symptoms on your daily drive

[@juanpedro8117]

Are the OEM parts the same as the original? Thanks

[@Drewlinska]

@@juanpedro8117 Yes, bought them from Honda and the car is so much smoother. Like new IMO.

I think this mount is actually called the transmission mount, EDIT: just seen a comment already stating that,, sorry! Btw Im in the process of changing the oil pan to a 2014 accord ex, Unfortunaltry there arent ANY videos showing how to do this. I downloaded the service manual but its wording with very little pictures to actually show whats going on,, I have to remove the transmisson mount and I was wondering how to get to it, thanks to your video I know how to remove it, Now I have to figure out how to remove read engine mount,, because I have to lift the engine and transmission just to remove the damn oil pan... boy oh boy this is gonna be a very long replacement.. Btw its my sister car, she hit a big rock while driving and it made a huge hole in the oil pan, all the oil came out! thanksfully she pulled over fast before the -engine locked up!. again thanks for the video!!!

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Good Luck! We do plan on making a video for the rear mounts. I agree the service manual isn't always the greatest. Cheers!

[@JoeVil]

when idling did the car vibrate worst when the a/c compressor kicked on? when in drive and at a stand still with the a/c on the vibrations are awful on my car. also, would love to see a rear mount video :)

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Definitely a mount issue. We hope to get the rear mount video out soon. Cheers!

[@davidkuzmanov3488]

Did you change , any mounts .if witch one ? Did shake stops

[@JoeVil]

@davidkuzmanov3488 ended up being the passenger side and front mount, just make sure to get oem. I got aftermarket at first and it made it vibrate worst

[@davidkuzmanov3488]

@@JoeVil let me know , from where you buy Oem mounts. Thanks.

[@davidkuzmanov3488]

@@JoeVil btw i See now, when idle at stop- shake on brake pedal. Can this be , transmision mount or maybe need Valve clean ? And it not continous , for long.sometimes did , and some not. What do you think.

[@Relicsun]

Just a tip. I would remove the stabilizer bar on top of engine bay to have more room.Other than that it’s a great video.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Good tip! Thank you.

[@epicdemic215]

I learned something thanks I just got one and need to change mines I feel the motor shake when I turn it on

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Glad I could help

[@josuemanc7305]

Can you make one for the lower transmission mount

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Yep, it's on our list to do.

[@kevinmatthews9653]

Hey car guy. Are you able to remove the center bolt on the aluminum bracket and then the three for the mount itself? Then you would be able to slide the mount out and reuse the aluminum bracket. This way you would avoid moving electrical components.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

It should be possible. I removed the bracket as the mount that was purchased included one.

[@aim6613]

It's possible to remove it, but sliding it back in to align the wholes for the screws is difficult. The bracket puts a lot of tension on the mount. Instead of worrying about stripping the threads I removed the bracket as well, since it's not too much work.

[@larrysnyder8649]

Great video - thanks for taking the time to do this. My 2014 accord sport vibrates when placing the car in reverse - would this be a sympton of a bad mount?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Bad Mounts can cause Vibrations in reverse or drive.

[@paulleblanc3301]

@mobilecarmechanic Do you have to buy the bracket and the mount you can't just put a new mount on?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Ours came with the bracket so we decided to use it but it isn’t necessary to change it.

[@epicdemic215]

It’s only tough because you put to much pressure one the bottom with the jack you half way kinda see the car lift up some

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Appreciate it.

[@brianmorales6182]

I cant find the torque spec for that mount specifically.. do you know the exact spec ??? I don’t have a drill just the hand tools :(

[@MobileCarMechanic]

40 lbf·ft or 54 n-m

[@brianmorales6182]

@@MobileCarMechanic thank you ! Awesome video btw really helpful!!

[@mxgf514p7]

@@MobileCarMechanicdoes the 40 ft lb apply to both 14mm & 17mm? Sorry I’ve gone through the video 3 times trying to see if you mentioned torque spec :/ until I found this comment! Also thank you for being the ONLY video on KZbin showing how to replace this upper transmission mount on 4cyl 9th gen accords! Literally have been scouring forums and videos and you are the ONLY one so I appreciate the time you take helping educate us!

[@mxgf514p7]

@@MobileCarMechanic​​⁠ Hey just wanted to add that after my original comment, I continued to scour the web and after a few different variations and wordplay I was able to find one instance of this upper transmission mount being mentioned. They were kind enough to add the installation manual taken directly from tech info. In it states everything you’ve shown in the video. Since my point was to find more clarification on the torque spec, the following is what the manual says to do. It states to attach the transmission mount with the entire assembly (as you’ve shown), then you loosely install the upper transmission mount bracket bolts (3 bolts on the bracket), and you tighten the transmission mount bolts (3 bolts closest to driver side wheel) to 40 lb ft. You then lower the vehicle back down and remove the wooden block from the transmission. At this point it states you can now tighten the upper transmission mount bracket bolts to 44 lb ft. It seems you followed exactly what the manual states. Hopefully this comment will help anybody who is more technical when it comes to torque specs like me and thanks again for all you do educating us with your videos!

[@AccordzDIY]

I replaced all 5 of my mounts and it somehow got worst, at idle and at a stop in drive or reverse the vibrations are horrible, way more noticeable than before replacing them. driving on the other had feels a lot better. I think that the issue is the aftermarket rear mount and the lower trans mount. I highly recommend leaving the old rear and lower trans alone or get oem ones that are hella expensive.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thanks for the reply. Haven’t done the rears yet but may still make a video on them just to show how to replace them. That’s interesting as the mounts that have been replaced so far have made a difference. Was this right after you installed them or over time?

[@AccordzDIY]

@Mobile Car Mechanic it was right after replacing them, I put about 50 miles on them to see if they would break in some, but no difference. I'm gonna have to put my two old ones back in.

[@AccordzDIY]

Also, I had started up the car before doing those 2 last ones just to feel how it improved, and it felt great

[@scotthall8609]

I have a soft clunk on start up on my 14 accord... It had the vtc grind when I got it a couple of years ago,, so I replace the cam gear but it didn't eliminate the bump I get ... seems a little worse when it's cold but it's noticeable even when warm. Could this be the upper tyranny mount or do I need to remove it to inspect it?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

It sounds like a mount for sure. I’d run your engine and have some one press the gas pedal on and off and see if the motor moves. Look for any cracking or sagging where the mount is.

[@scotthall8609]

@@MobileCarMechanic OK... thanks a lot...

[@Skinny396]

Awesome video well explained

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you!

[@Killmonize]

Why did you change your mountmount? How many miles on car?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Started feeling vibrations inside. Ended up buying a whole mount kit and decided to replace them all as they have 150k miles on them

[@Killmonize]

@@MobileCarMechanic oh ok. Yah my accord has 102k on it. At idle it vibrates pretty hard once off idle its fine.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

That was what we were experiencing as well. The passenger side mount I believe was the issue but wanted to replace the others as I’m sure they will fail shortly after.

[@Killmonize]

​@@MobileCarMechanicthat is my fear as well. Did u do a video on the rear mount?

[@deondarville4180]

Is this a 4 cylinder or 6?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

This is a 4 cylinder.

Thank you!

[@GregMadison-km1bn]

This needs to be done on my 2013 v6. Trying to get the scumbag dealer to do it is a pain. I have an extended warranty with Honda. When I shift the car into drive or reverse in the morning, I get an extreme vibration throughout the car. Especially in cold weather.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

That’s a bummer. I’d keep pushing it or try to goto another dealer if you can that accepts the warranty. I’ve not done this on the V6 models. I imagine it’s not that much different.

[@AM-in8gh]

That is the upper transmission mount.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thanks for the clarification. Cheers!

[@abdallamakkawy4243]

@@MobileCarMechanic What if I loosen this one bolt holding the bracket to the mount and install the new mount and tighten only one bolt to do the job quickly sacrificing the new bracket?!🤔
