little over 200 for a motor mount and install. does that sound about right?
getting my car back later after having my first tranny replaced. yay!

thanks guys.

 

Which motor mount? if it was the back one, it is about right, or could be a little high.

 

front? they gave me a loaner and their gonna give her a wash. im not trying to give them hell, im thankful, i just keep remembering him telling me it was gonna be cheaper for some reason.

 

$209 total labor and mount.

 

Not bad could be worse. the mount should only be 100 bucks. With the trans out they really shouldnt charge much of anything.

 

ill askm, and we'll see what happens, im broke as a mofo

just curious.

 

well just got the car back, and we had them call acura and they covered the motor mounts under warranty since ive only got 51k on it.


im extremely happy, its almost like a new car, it shifts better than the 06 tl they gave me as a loaner.

is it normal to have a slight "wine" as you accelerate?

 

Yes its the parts breaking in - it will get less but there is usually a little
It also shifts higher and delayed in 1-2 when cold- programmed to help engine warm up
Drive it nice/gently for 500 miles - do check the SS mode up and down to make sure its working and no racing till after 500-1000- then its have a good time

 

i hardly ever play with her, but ill def take it easy for a while... is there any precautions to take to keep it from wearing out again?

its shifting really really good, will that go away over time?






kinda off topic, maybe youll know... is it worth it to remove the intake resinator?, today at work we started to but didnt finish... also what is the purpose of the "resinator type" chunk of plastic just after the filter? i was guessing.. noise reduction, so we blocked it off to allow air to flow more smoothly (every little bit counts i guess) i know its getto.. just wondering.



thanks for the info.

 

If you want more sound, remove the resonator. It is there to quiet the stock intake, so if you want a more aggressive sound, remove it. Search for the thread on it for useful tips in taking it off.

 

I thought I read in another motor mount thread recently that the guy got all 3 mounts for $100 and did them himself. He probably got the parts online, though and not directly from the dealer that overcharges.

 

ill have to keep that in mind incase i need to replace any other, so removing the resinator does no benefit other than sound? dumb question i know, just wondering.

 

That's right. Resonator only reduces sound. It is one of the reasons that TL's are so quiet...
