Engine Mount Help

So I need to replace my engine mounts in my car Its a 2000 GXE 3.0. I am not sure if I can replace them with Solid non Electric mounts without getting a Code. I see online some say have sensor, some say Have solenoid, some say solid...I dont know what to get...I would like to eliminate the electric ones if possible. But if not, Which ones are Solenoid,Sensor and solid.

You can replace the auto with regular but there maybe some more vibration in the car

It won't

Why don't you just want to replace with a OEM or OEM spec part though?

It can happen, it has happened to many, and it is the reason you SHOULD replace with non-electric mounts.

I haven't ordered the mounts yet because I need to know 100% if I get non Electric mounts if it will set off a check engine light. If I have a cel in my state I cant pass Emissions check.

So I found this set online. I know the part numbers are different because I think its a Manual Tranny set even though it says auto on the site.

Would Manual mounts work on a Auto since im not doing electric mounts??

NO sel.....Don't worry ,I'll be more concerned about the ecu getting fried, i swaped mine for the cheap Ebay kind,(doing poly fill when they fail)who cares is the car feels like a big azz battery powered toothbrush during idle jkjkjk vibration people descibe is not that bad

Only thing was the set of four i bought 3 fit perfect but the tranny mount was made from thin metal while the oem AT mount was made from beefy alloy so washers were needed to make it fit right...buy the alloy one if you want a perfect fit on that one

I agree. Top complains I get
- Your car is broken (due to the vibration caused by the mounts)
- Your car is too stiff
- Your car is too loud

The only manual mounts that won't work on auto is the transmission mount.

RockAuto.com has quite a selection, as noted in one of the above posts. 1AAuto sells a complete set of four mounts for 2000 AT Maxima for $108, shipping included; check it out:

Those mounts are complete crap and should only be used for poly filling.

The cheapest way that works well is to buy used manual mounts or inexpensive new manual mounts and fill with poly.
I used this product on mine:
