Broken transmission mount

[Cuong-Nutz]

What in the world could cause my transmission mount to break/shear/tear apart?? This is the rear transmission/engine mount. Could the ES motor mount inserts cause that to happen? I still have the crapomatic transmission...

another question, can you remove the pin out of the vtec spool solenoid plug? The wire broke off right at the rubber grommet/seal.

did the mount break or the rubber material in the mount tear? cause the majority of mounts I've seen have been that way.

the mount broke/sheared through all the bolt holes. I"ll post some photos from my phone later on to show...

that is gonna be a crazy lookin mount, only thing i know of that migth cause that would be a wreck or if you tryed to support the whole engine tranny weight with just that mount

Sorry if I confused you guys. I'm referring to the bracket that attaches to the engine mount... here are the photos

does your car have a rebuilt title. I bougt a ranger one time and it turned out that it the bumper was welded on with just a bolt. Very ghetto

Upper bolt missing allowing the flexing to rip the mount.

The bolt that is missing come from the transmission side, should be a nut welded on there.

Someone messed up putting the bracket back on left a bolt out, then what happened to the nut?

[H2Bcivic]

just get a new bracket and make sure the nut is there. u need all the bolts there..honda put them on there for a reason!

I had the rear main replaced over half a year ago by a shop... Mr. Transmission

[BLACK-KNIGHT]

missing mounts or missing bolts that why it shifted and broke

[Cuong-Nutz]

Are all D-series engine/transmission bracket to engine mount the same along with the bolts? I really need to get my car back on the road asap.

[H2Bcivic]

yea all the brackets should be the same!

Dude, make the shop pay to fix it. They are the ones that caused it. Tell them you are taking it to a dealer and they are going to pay to have it fixed or you will sue. It had all the bolts when you dropped it off.

[gearhead98]

yup, make the shop pay, they broke it, they can't really argue against it as long as you still have a work order or receipt.

as for all d-series mounts being the same i dunno, i think a manual and a auto mount are different. someone correct me if i'm wrong

[Cuong-Nutz]

I just had the bracket welded back together and welded a nut to the side. Shop didn't offer to do anything and I didn't have the patience or the time to deal with it. Going to head to the pick and pull and get myself another one...

[Richie_A_19]

Remember the other bolt!

[Cuong-Nutz]

Picked up a new bracket at the pick and pull. 15 dollars.

Here's the old one welded up...

i like the old one better, i might have stuck with that one, looks like a good weld job. that reminds me i need to get some new mounts for my car, my driverside front mount is torn, and i don't wanna swap to a manual with a torn mount, looks like i will be ordering some urethane from mcmasters soon.
