I have checked with sellers on ebay and they do not seem to have front motor mounts for manual transmissions...When I call the junk yards they tell me they do have it but only for auto and not manual trans.
I do want to do the ES mod to the front and back motor mounts.
How can I tell I am buying the correct front motor mount from yards or ebay? Is there a number on the mount itself? I may have to hit them junk yards but a lot of them mounts are already taken off the car and in a wire basket. I just do not want to buy the wrong mount.

2002 maxima with an auto trans..

 

By the whole 4 piece kit from eBay for an automatic under $100, then use those to do ES inserts. You can still drive the car until the inserts are done.

To buy a front mount alone will cost you as much as the whole kit.

 

the problem is I need the manual trans mount which ebay seems to only carry for auto...

 

Why do you need the manual?

 

It's the other way around. You'll only find the manual, not the auto.

 

I am confused, too...

 

My 02 max is an automatic...If anyone would like to do the "ES inserts" mod they will need to have a front motor mount from a stick trans vehicle. ES does not make the inserts for auto trans, they will only work for manual transmissions...(The auto trans motor mount is much bigger) The sellers on ebay do not seem to carry motor mounts for standard transmissions, ONLY auto. I have spoken to several and they do not carry them period.....Junk yards have piles of them in stock but I do not know how to tell if it came from an auto or stick trans car...(unless I luck out and see the maxima that just came into the yard and it is stick)

 

 

Pretty much.....

 

If that is an option you are willing to go with, there is at least one org member who inserted some kind of metal sleeve into a front AT mount for a 2003, so the ES insert has a tight fit (see post #15 on this thread)
