[@StanWanda1319]

Thxs so much for this video. This was a great learning experience for my son and I on his car. We purchased the part from Parts geeks and a few tools from Harbor Freight and it saved us hundreds of dollars. As long as you have the where with all to accomplish a task like this; go for it! Get the tools if you don't have them and you'll be aight 👌 💯 🤪. This video was worth a thousand bucks!!!

[@rhgoodlett]

I can't tell you how helpful and cost-saving your videos have been. Thank you so much. My question is about the torque settings at the end of this video. What you did here makes more sense to me. However, in my Haynes Repair Manual, it says that I should torque the two 17mm "mount-to-body" bolts to 69 lb.-ft, and the 19mm "mount-to-engine" nut and bolt to 47 lb.-ft. It doesn't seem to make sense to me that I should tighten the smaller bolts more than the larger ones. I just wanted to confirm that I should ignore the Haynes Manual and just stick to what you did here. Thanks again Mr.Ranger.

[@MrRangerZr1]

My info is straight from the factory shop manual

[@divinemessenger2030]

Tysm. My motor mount was completely caved in. 🤦🏽‍♀️🥲 I’m a 25 year old woman with some simple car repairs under my belt. This one was a lil more involved but I still managed. Took me 3 hours only cus I struggled getting the mount to line up when putting the new one in, but I got it. The car runs like butter now. No vibrations, no clunks, it’s truly amazing. Ty for your knowledge especially the torque specs 💁🏽‍♀️ gonna try and replace the lower torque mount in a few weeks too but it’s a night and day difference just from replacing this one. 😇

[@LegendaryWaterBottle]

wow, mine just rusted off and needed to change this so badly. thanks a lot of posting man. truely appreciate it

[@assccrewz]

thankxso much for this video... can you make a video tutorial on how to change the transmission mounting 2012-2015 honda civic.

[@jacalynndonnal5711]

Thank you for this video!! Just replaced this mount today and did the torque mount a few days ago when I did the oil change. I was quoted $1247 to replace all of them although I feel that’s reasonable I just don’t have the money.

[@MrRangerZr1]

That quote is outrageous

[@peytonboydz4268]

Reasonable??? dude the mounts cost 300$ max and it will take 20 minutes of your time

[@purpledonatello]

Probably one of best videos out there. Its a little confusing on how people start remove that nut and bolt on the engine mount, but here this guy went straight to remove two bottom bolts first. Is there any particular reason why you did that?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Just follow my video and you’ll be good lol

[@streetrage]

Fantastic video. Why anti-seize on the bolts? I feel like it's the other way around and that you need Loctite thread lock on there, no? These parts experience a lot of vibration.

[@MrRangerZr1]

The bolts had corrosion on them so I used anti-seize. You can use threadlocker on it.

[@Hondaparadox]

Thank you for torque values

[@anthonywoods87]

When they go bad do you feel a horrible vibration when you take off

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes clunking noise as well

[@FD-rh6tr]

When you press on the gas, the engine jutters

[@kingeleven3820]

Where is the driver side engine mount located?? Is it somewhere below the air filter housing

[@bindig1]

A good way to tell is drive at highway speed and accelerate quickly. You'll feel shaking and wobbling til you let off the throttle. Or while parked, put the car in drive and tap the throttle while keeping your other foot on the brake. Check for excessive engine movement.

[@ThisIsForYOU369]

​@@kingeleven3820 yes. Below the air filter housing, ecu, battery, fuse box. All will be removed for easiest access.

[@jordanrose9660]

Anyway you can make that transmission mount video? Haven't seen anyone post one.

[@assccrewz]

yes yes,, i wan to see the video too

[@ubershark2617]

I can’t get the two bolts connecting the mount to the chassis to tighten all the way. They only go half way and now one is stuck? How do I fix this?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Sounds like you're cross threading, remove the bolt and try again.

[@bilaltaj2929]

I have a Honda Civic LX 2012. The mechanic said I need to change the same exact engine mount as shown in this video with the washer fluid flask next to it. I am a bit confused though on the labelling. He said to get the right front motor mount in front of the passenger seat but he said its actually called the left engine motor mount when searching online for the part. is he correct?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Bilal Taj sitting from the driver’s side its going to be the right.

[@JayWind111]

For this vehicle, is there only 1 engine mount place? Thanks for the video btw. Going to the dealership tom for a quote.. Not sure if this is something I should just do myself. Would need to buy some tools.

[@JayWind111]

Found another video, its called the or transmission mount (if you're seated in the driver seat, it's on the left. This video is for the engine mount on the right. Follow up question, how do you know your transmission mount is bad? You can visually inspect the right side engine mount, but what about the left?

[@MrRangerZr1]

There are few of them, 3 in total for this particular 2014 model in the video. You can do them yourself.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes that is buried under the intake ducting. Basically if you feel excessive judders or clunks, time to check your motor mounts.

Does this motor mount need a break in period? Its better at idle now but when pressing gas shakes quite alot after installing new one

[@MrRangerZr1]

Make sure to fully tighten the bolts after lowering the jack supporting the engine, don't tighten the bolts while the engine is jacked up. Also use OEM mounts.

[@Kurogane697]

@MrRangerZr1 ended up finding the oem mount. It just took a few tries cause dealer and autopart stores didn't have it.

[@pebblez_]

Since my uncle past gota learn how do dis now

[@popofishing]

Could you elaborate on the process of raising and lowering the car to fit the new mount on? Thanks!

[@MrRangerZr1]

The engine has to be supported when you remove the motor mount because the mounts are holding the engine in. When you remove or reinstall the mount, you jack up the engine a tiny bit, maybe less than few inches.

[@therealchristianfelix]

Is a torque wrench necessary to change the motor mounts?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Highly recommended

[@ydujev]

If I'm replacing all 3 how should I do that? Follow this procedure, then replacing the transmission mount loosen the engine mount first, then hand tighten both and torque both?

[@MrRangerZr1]

If replacing all at the same time, hand tighten all mounts bolts, start the car and shift through the gears, then tighten down all mounts to spec.

[@frankwlodarczyk2589]

what size are the bolts that mount the bracket to the mount and the body? I have a 12 lx mine mounts with one bolt to the body and one threaded stub and nut to the mount

[@fergeeezy]

Can I replace just the mount or does it have to be the entire thing with the bracket?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yung MXZV entire assembly

[@1inflorida]

You can just replace the mount. But you'll need a shop for the e torx socket or have to buy special e torx socket. And they are hard to find.

[@DesertTourtouse]

How do I know if it needs replacing. My Honda has 177k on it. Should I change it as basic maintenance? Thx

[@MrRangerZr1]

It's not a maintenance thing, just replace it when it breaks/tears.

[@shanew3293]

perfect tutorial

[@colinstubbs2382]

On my 2015 civic lx when I'm stopped but in gear my car vibrates. After watching the videos at first I thought it could be the motor mounts. Then I saw a comment saying it vibrates and makes noise when accelerating if motor mounts are broken. The vibration goes away on mine. Also when its atleast in the low 40s outside it makes what sounds like a kind of grinding sound when I accelerate for only about 15 seconds or so then quiets down. Dont really want to take it to a dealership they'll tell me all kinds of things are wrong with it that aren't. I'm capable of fixing it myself I just dont know what the problems are.

[@rasheedukhan]

Is this and the lower mount the only 2 mounts that would need to be checked and replaced or are there any others that I should check?

There is another mount underneath the airbox. That is the transmission mount.

[@kingeleven3820]

I get really rough vibration when putting it on reverse and a little less on drive (specially at the front seats and dash) and also jutters when i press/release the gas pedal and just recently the air intake hose split at one of the inner joints. Are these symptoms of bad engine mounts?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes

[@StanWanda1319]

Had the same problem. Saw that the air intake hose was split and was loosing compression but realized that was due to vibrations of the failed front right engine mount.

Hey I have a 2015 civic exl with 68k miles, I bought it used when it had 50k miles for really cheap. But recently after 65k miles I noticed the vibration when idling is more pronounced, and when I put the car in drive with the E BRAKE on I pop the hood and can barely see the engine vibrating a tiny bit, however when I turn the ac on the vibration inside the car seems to smooth out but when I check in drive with E brake and AC on the engine shakes badly, and even hear some clunking , I know it’s the not the serpentine belt tensioner because I replaced that. Do you think it’s the engine mounts? The top one is somewhat pricey, $200+ for oem since I’ve heard using cheap mounts is a bad idea.
