Where to buy mounts?

[pomx7]

Somebody posted a couple days before TO crashed about there motor mounts and filling them with window sealing. They got all there mounts for 100 dollars. I wanted to ask him about it but TO is down. Where can i get a good deal on motor mounts?

Try byp

Just about any on-line parts store would have them.

BYP Mounts have been given the polyurethane treatment and are around $135 a piece
but, YOU have to provide the mount!!!

[minivanin]

oh yes, YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL, OWN, OFF THE DAMN CAR MOUNTS, lol

you might wanna get your fillings double checked too.....

Ya, that was me. I got them from rockauto.com. It was over $100 BTW I think $120 or $130 but still the best price I could find on decent (Beck & Arnley) mounts.

So, then, if you wanted those mounts given the BYP treatment,
you would ship them all down to Florida and they would come
back stiffer then a 3 peckered billygoat at $135 a piece...
BUT, it's always a good thing to make ABSOLUTLEY, 100%
CERTAIN the mounts will fit on your car!!!

Don't do what I did and have a set sent down to them
(after, what I thought was, pretty extensive research) only
to find out, one of the mounts was for an automatic tranny....
it looked identical but....

BE VERY CAREFULL YOU DON'T GET THE automatic tranny mount if you have a manual tranny...
Although they look VERY SIMILAR, bolt holes are off by a **** hair or two...

BEHOLD:

[pomx7]

The one tranny mount i put does say 4at. But is it really an auto mount? It was in thew manual section

[alfradio]

These 2 Rock Auto Parts listings, one for MANUAL TRANNY MOUNT and this one for AUTO TRANNY MOUNT reference the same part numbers, 8175 & 9123... I'd call them before ordering.... save yourself a headache!

Auto tranny mounts and manual tranny mounts are NOT interchangable
while the motor mounts, I believe are (interchangable)

PS: While you're at it, do some parts number research at Auto Parts Warehouse!

I just called rock auto and he told me that the guy who does the site setup messed up. So they dont have manual tranny mounts. Im going to order the tranny mount somewhere else. Im thinking about going with bap

If by "bap" you meant, BYP, they do not sell or order motor mounts (I don't think) they will
take YOUR mounts and polyurethane them for you (at $135 a piece) but, YOU have to
supply the mounts you want treated...

This would be my suggestion to you...

If you want your mounts stiffened up with whatever stuff will stiffen them up you can do one
of 2 things and be absolutley sure the mounts you use will fit...

USE THE MOUNTS WHICH ARE ON THE CAR!!!! That way there, you'll have no question about
will this mount fit on an automatic or a standard... THEY WILL FIT because they are the
actual mounts which came from your car. (By the way, you've got a 1996 Tercel right?
Does it have an automatic tranny or standard? (4 or 5 speed?)

To the best of my knowledge the motor mounts from auto or standard are interchangabel
for the passenger side mount and the rear mount! (Case in point, the mount I have on my
5 speed is one which is listed on either ROCK AUTO or AUTO PARTS WAREHOUSE aas being
for an automatic.... they must have freakin' monkeys typing that stuff into the computers!)
It's the driver's side (tranny/motor mount which is ABSOLUTLEY NOT swappable auto to
standard!!

So, my advise would be to jack up the motor, support it somehow, remove all the mounts
(or do one at a time) and either fil them with the polyurethane yourself or send them down
to BYP andhave them do it for you... They are pricey but, the mounts you get back will be
TOP NOTCH!!!!

If you can't afford to have them all done at once... get the REAR MOUNT down... this is the
one which will reduce the amount of motion your motor has when you step on the gas.
Having this one mount STIFFENED will, however, add strees on the remaining 2 softer
mounts but, such is the world of modifications!!

Be also advised that the Toyota engineers made the motor mounts in your Tercel to absorb
lots of vibration... they were thinking of comfort NOT performance... with just the REAR
MOTOR MOUNT stiffened, you'll feel every little vibration your motor has to make and
multiply THAT times 3 if you do the other mounts as well!!!!

(Lemmie see... is there anything else?.... Nope... guess that's it!)
