rockfangd Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 hi everyone. i have a 94 cutty 4 dr sedan. 3100 v6 i need to know how many lowe moto mounts, where they are located and how to change them. i changed the dog bone mounts on the front, but problem not solved. any help would be appreciated Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 1 lower motor mount, hydrualic, pass. side on the bottom of the motor, nested into the subframe. 1 tranny mount, opposite side bolted onto a bracket that stands off the subframe. tranny mount usually isn't the problem. The motor mount leaks and becomes useless. http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php/topic,40223.0.html please don't jack the motor from the oil pan.. or if you do, at least use a long block of wood.

rockfangd Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Posted August 31, 2006 yah too many people are dumb enough to do something like that. i changed the 2 dogbones on the top. anyone know how to the job and how difficult of a job is this. Quote
rockfangd Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Posted August 31, 2006 so this applies to my 94 cutty too Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I bought my mount at NAPA and it fits perfectly. Quote
Euro Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 damn....definitly something i dont feel comfortable doing myself and if the hydraulic mount starts to leak....its a nasty mess to clean up Quote
1990lumina Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 damn....definitly something i dont feel comfortable doing myself and if the hydraulic mount starts to leak....its a nasty mess to clean up mine blew up last month and the sub frame has oil all over it lol....and yeah I'm driving around with worn out dog bones again and blown up engine mount lol.....dunno how great a shape the tranny mount is in...I have money now so I'm replacing the works soon Quote
rockfangd Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 not such a great idea. downside to w-bodies Quote
jdcutty Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 downside to w-bodies haha, one of millions Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 damn....definitly something i dont feel comfortable doing myself and if the hydraulic mount starts to leak....its a nasty mess to clean up x2! I know I might need one, but I'm not comfortable doing it either. It's a delicate procedure, and I'm afraid I'd screw it up. Quote

The motor mounts? Not really, it's one of the easier things I've done on a W. Kind of hard to screw it up. Quote

GnatGoSplat Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 The lower ones shawn. The dogbones are a breeze. The lower is what I'm talking about. Granted, I only replaced the one on the passenger side, but the driver side one didn't look any more difficult. Quote

Granted, I only replaced the one on the passenger side, but the driver side one didn't look any more difficult. I'm not confident enough in my abilties as a backyard mechanic to do it by myself. I guess it's mostly because I've never had to jack the engine up from underneath before. If I were still living with my parents, and had my Dad around I'd try it. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I never had that much confidence, I just attempted it and hoped for the best. I figured worst case scenario, I screw up a car that's only worth a thousand bucks tops. Quote

rockfangd Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Posted September 6, 2006 well if the job was anything like the serp belt (easiest job in the world) im all for it Quote
