Unplug it immediately. Replace with mount from manual transmission car, can obtain from eBay.

not sure that that is, but this is what you need.

Pop hood, inspect mounts on subframe, (near fire wall and radiator), unlpug whichever is plugged.

The mount you showed is from the sides of the vehicle, near the strut mounts. Those are not electronic.

Check the front (near radiator) first. Typically this is the one that's electronic. If it is, unplug it, and buy the MT mount (torque mounts). And the ES bushing to go with it.

Or do your own PUR bushings.

Because they are known to cause ecu short/failure. At best bad electric mounts are as good as bad rubber mounts - worthless.

Yep. Haven't done mine, but the logic is there. Don't think it will be as easy being you need to sorta manipulate it during cure.
