Just wondering if its possible to stiffen the motor mounts without removing them from the car. I have no time and no money to burn giving it to a mechanic.

Just noticing the car is shifting sloppier then usual, and the mounts (aside from the rear tranny mount, which I replaced last month) are looking old. Is there an insert I can use or some trick I don't know about to stiffen them up? Can I poly them somehow while in the car?

 

there you go.....

haha! I forgot about that one. I always meant to give the ole erasers a try though.

 

yeah, i'm planning to give it a try on saturday too.

 

hey let me ask u this... is ur steering wheel vibrating when u put ur car in gear? cuz i think that might be the culprit in my car.

 

mine does... almost like the rpm's would be too low....

 

does it get worse when u turn on the headlights? cuz mine does

 

ummm....no

my motor mounts are gone... the dealer told me that already... i'll try the eraser mod before putting in a few hundred $$$

 

does the wheel vibrate when ur in nuetral also or not?

 

Your car has issues

 

yea no kidding 3 to be exact

 

I have a 5speed, so there is no vibration at idle. My problem is with sloppy ****ing (not really notching, just sloppy). It got a lot better when I fixed my rear mount, but I have the feeling that the other 8 year old mounts could use some help.

 

i heard filling them with polyurethane helps wheels hop to a radiculous amount. i'm going to try this soon.

 

haha, i need to double check my posts to avoid horrible mistakes like that (should read sloppy SHIFTING, not sloppy ****ing...).
