I recently swapped out my rear engine mount for a new one and started having some strange symptoms. First of all when I start the car the car moves forward a bit. Secondly some shifts seem to be harsher. All this right after installing new mount.

 

auto tranny? 6MT?
New Factory OEM rear mount or aftermarket?

are the other mounts in good condition?

 

Auto. All 3 mount are new and OEM factory mounts.

The weird thing is the problems are intermittent.

 

Maybe there's an issue with the vacuum lines not being properly connected to the front and/or rear mount, just a guess.

 

Also make sure to "neutralize" the mounts as well.

 

How do you do neutralize a mount?

 

Anyone know the torque specs for the engine mounts on a type s?

I saw this in another thread and it said it’s from a 04 TL manual so not sure if the type s is the same.

 

As long as you have an auto anyways.
