What is the part number(s) for the engine mount(s) in a 2005 5AT TL? I was called by my dealership indicating that I have one that is broken, and that it'll cost $268. They're "throwing in" labor, since they are already in there replacing my transmission.

 

To be clear, this is the front motor one (not the transmission ones)

 

Looks like it is 50830-SEP-A02.. About $118. Shipping + Tax raises that to about $135 (list price $157). So it looks like they've doubled the price. I guess if labor is normally $140/hr, then they've wrapped in the cost of this, although they told me this usually takes 2 hours ($280 of labor).

 

I guess when I think about it, even at an independent mechanic, this would be $70 or so of labor, so $205 vs $268 isn't outright terrible. Sorry guys, I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not being shafted..

 

uhh...yeah your being shafted.

 

Do it youself and save $133.

 

It's okay.. I'll throw a bone to the dealer every once in a while... After all, it's what allowed me to get my trannny replaced at nearly 85% goodwill.

 

Does anyone think that it is a good idea to replace all the mounts when doing the 105k service or it doesn't matter?

 

I asked Acura about this and to my surprise they said that if the broken one is not replaced, it causes much faster wear & tear on the remaining three. Replacing the broken one usually does the trick and the other three will be just fine. He did not recommend replacing the other three.

 

Um, if its damaged, replace it. My dealer never noticed it and eventually I had to replace all of them. And grats on the 85% goodwill tranny. I got 75% after initially getting 50%, but got a new TL for the long weekend so guess that helps . I would have pushed for more, but was having issues with the wifes car and it's bad enough being down to 1 car.
