Does it matter what brand tranny mounts I get? My mechanic said I need to replace them since they are broken.

 

There are two tranny mounts. They are not all that expensive, should be able to get them both for less than $50. Also, not an overly difficult DIY to save on labor costs.

Have your other mounts for the motor been checked out ?????

 

Both of my tranny mounts are out too....

 

Other mounts meaning motor mounts?

 

Yep ! There are three of them. One in the front, one in the rear, and another one on the top side !
Do them all for total satisfaction.

 

You can get both tranny mounts plus the 3 engine mounts off ebay as a kit for $130. I've got these installed and they work awesome.

 

I bought the side mount and now I need the 2 tranny mounta

 

On eBay When i look up tranny mounts there is 3 rear front and side? Do we have 3 mounts?

 

For the engine yes. If you had to replace side more than likely the front was bad. If they are all original then they are all bad more than likely

 

Yeah, as Stephen00TL stated.....if the passenger top side motor mount is bad, ya can figure the front one is also bad and maybe even the rear. If ya only do the side and the others are worn, it won't last long.

 

If u have over 75k your motor mounts are most likely shot. You may not notice but if you change them you'll see a difference.

 

This is the 5 piece kit some folks have installed here. I can't believe how much the price has dropped since I bought it. Definitely the best bang for the buck.

wow, yes. good price. I got the pictured "top left" and "bottom right" (Front & Pass-Side) separately from that vendor and the parts were nice and the DIY went well. Now I wish I'd bought that 5 piece combo.
I don't really know the condition of my other 3 mounts. I'd better check them ASAP. If I had to do it over again I'd get that 5 piece set and DIY all of 'em. That's what H-Kid and others should do.

 

when i look up the transmission mount on ebay, there is showing a front and rear and side mount for the transmission>?

 

also my mechanic told me i need sway bar bushing but some of the ones i find on ebay are different when i click on the item it will say sway bar frame and the other say stabilizer bushing kit or end? which one do I buy?

 

also that kit that victus1 showed us does not fit Type S model i just checked on ebay and wasn't compatible.

 

Dafuck? That's a ridiculously good deal. What kind were they? OEM?

 

Anti-sway bar is another term for stabilizer bar...

 

For real....Do tell Victus.....

 

What is the difference in (frame bar bushing kit) as to stabilizer bar bushing? Is one lower and one upper?

 

The sway bar has end links (one on each side) that connect it to the lower arm of the right and left front wheels....if you're gonna redo one bushing (which I believe that "frame bar" bushing is the one where the sway bar mounts to the car frame), you might as well replace the end links too....

 

They are oem-style, not oem Acura. Front & rear are vacuum assist, like the original. They are made in China, like everything else these days. But they work just like the originals. I am just happy we have this option to save money.

 

Good to hear this first hand from a fellow 'Ziner .....who has actually installed a "cheaper" option than some of the name brands. It's really hard to believe that the Chinese are able to manufacture parts that fit for such a low price. They even have the vac assist hydaulic setup of the OEM's.

Many times these knockoff parts tend to cut corners with quality, fit and durability.
But, if our man Victus1 says they're ok....then I'd be good with giving them a shot.

My issue is with some of the cheap Chinese bearings and ball joints, which are labor intensive to install and ya don't want to be doing the job over in a year.

 

Indeed, I would never buy those cheapo chinese suspension parts, and especially cheapo timing belt or other critical engine components. But since other ziners have installed these oem-style mounts as well as members from many other car forums, toyota, honda, etc.....I figured I'd try them out.

 

Took my car to the shop today tranny slipping and mounts are finish,mechanic said he rather dealer mounts over after market...I say go for what ever you can but if you're gonna keep the car why not in the long run its am investment for you.

 

Ha...the dealer mounts are total garbage. I've never had a car with mounts that die after 5 years. I certainly wouldn't pay $700 for dealer mounts here in Canada.

 

Sway bars have 2 types of fasteners. One is the Endlink. It is what connects the sway bar to the lower control arm (not actual TL images but similar) Go to rockauto.com and order them from there.



The other is a swaybar bushing. It is what attaches and holds the bar in place to the car/chassis

 

If you plan on keeping it don't buy oem mounts or cheap aftermarket unless you enjoy changing them. Get some quality replacements and be set for life

 

Every 2G TL uses the same mounts. Doesn't matter if it's Type S or Premium.

eBay compatibility is retarded, so always confirm elsewhere.
