Engine mounts

Post by danch02 » Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:19 am

When I start my na6, I could see the whole engine shacking left and right.
On idle it doesn't shake as much but could this mean it needs new engine mounts?

I do know my engine moved a lot before I replaced the engine mounts. It also crunched into gear if I was over 2500 rpm and so i could only change gear once the revs dropped (I mean reaaaally crunched)

The Mazdaspeed mounts can be really touch and go and the comp mounts are out of stock. If you want some good mounts hit up Alex at moonlight racing

I liked the mazdaspeed ones. They made a world of difference and I wouldn't consider them harsh at all.
