'03 2AZ Engine Torque Damper

[Dna_splice]

Mr.Gene pointed out to my that my engine torque damper was torn to shreds
and today I finally got a new one and changed it. I took some picks for you guys in case it ever happens to you.
The swap is not hard at all.

i was guna get a "stiffy" for the TC, but was unsure if it was guna fit
if i find out it fits and i have some money ill swap it out.

enjoy.

ouch


Take these to bolts out -14mm socket


this is what it looks like extracted




Holy CRAP


new and old comparison. so sad.


Put in your new one, and replace the bolts. and you are good to go!


i purchased a new one from my local dealer for 87$

so check yours to see if its broken!
cuz i dont even know how or when mine broke.

God Speed.

what exactly does that thing do? I always thought it was another motor mount/support.

[Dna_splice]

yeh it is
when u accelerate ur motor moves and this just gives it some lateral support

[Netforcer]

yea, it's a motor mount.. not a damper...

Have you been racing much?

[Dna_splice]

mmmm im pretty sure its a damper.

I'd love it if someone made a ETD for the gen 6. I was going to buy one, but then found out that it would need a custom-made bracket because nobody has one for the gen 6 :\ Why you ask? Damn wheelhop everytime I gun it from a stop (actually sometimes it happens when I'm already moving) :\

nice work! easiest issue to fix in the world
my car had shredded that dogbone mount as well...at 70k it was toast!
not as bad as yours, but it wasnt pretty

Hey that's a pretty good DIY, I had a shop change it when I had a 93 camry 4 cyc, but I was wondering if you need to "jack up the engine" at all to get rid of any pressure/torsion/tension?

[Dna_splice]

nah, the bolts come out easy
well not easy haha
but you dont need to lift up the motor
