not try to be an expert, the oem MT mount have some liquid in it eventhough is not electric mount cause I drilled one out for the ES bushing.

I think your concern is you can reuse your mount or not, if it is electric mount the answer is not.

Yeah, if you're going to torch it out, drill a hole and drain the goo.

Wouldn't want goo splattered on your face

Mine are actually a AT and the front electronic mount has a custom insert fashioned by knight_zzy as the ES bushings don't come large enough to fit. Knight actually picked up a complete crossmember and its original mounts, did the custom work to the front mount and installed the ES bushings and replaced all the upper and lower sub bushings. Once everything was ready he simply jacked my car 2feet into the air and dropped out my crossmember and installed the replacement, and he started to prepare my crossmember for the next guy that was waiting in the wings for the first one to get finished up.

Here's a few picks of the replacement crossmember waiting to be installed:

Front AT mount with the custom insert:


front mount with custom insert and upper sub bushing:


front mount with the lower sub bushings:


rear mount with ES bushing:


completed crossmember:
