Hello

I have a 2010 TSX base 4cyl auto
I have symptoms of a bad motor mount but I replaced them and there's been no improvement. I have a feeling I need transmission mounts as well, but are there any other common issues to look at before I start throwing parts at it?

Thank you

 

Did you install OEM mounts? I've heard of aftermarket mounts giving poor results; vibration.

Suggest checking for exhaust leaks which can cause difficult to recognize noise.

good luck

 

No I used aftermarket, I understand they can cause vibrations, but it didn't change the original vibrations at all.

I went ahead and ordered the hydraulic trans mount (upper.) The noise and vibes reminds me of my 8th gen civic when the front hydraulic motor mount went bad. I used aftermarket for that as well and it made a world of difference. Hopefully this fixes my issue. I'll also check the exhaust hangers when I get it up on jacks or ramps.

Will update when I install it. In the meantime if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them, in case this doesn't resolve it, but I will probably just take it to my mechanic to diagnose before throwing any more parts at it.

 

I used to put the car in drive, hold the brake and gently rev the engine (power braking) with someone watching the engine, often would show the excessive movement. Never tried it on the TSX

 

Hello, I recently purchased a 2010 tsx and it has a heavy vibration when switched to Drive from park. Did the oem mounts fix your issue? Cause if so I need to take my to get that fixed it’s a really bad vibration.
