    Thanks for putting this video together, it was VERY helpful for me. I just replaced those 3 passenger side engine mounts and 2 belts for $170. I bet this job at a shop would've been $650! Because of your video, I completed the entire job in 3 hours and that included going to the auto parts store! Again, much thanks.

    Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it. I called for a quote and was quoted $530.00 I watched the video and bought the mount for 26.00 and spent maybe 3 hours doing it saved me over $500.....

      For 300 bucks, I'd certainly let someone else do this sh*t for me. Of course, in 2023, this is probably a $1,000 repair. You know, since COVID, everything is 5 times more costly than it was pre-COVID. Everyone trying to recoup that stimulus money, yo!

    I can never thank you enough for this AWESOME video. I am handy around the house - but when it comes to cars...no bueno. I'm a 52 yo disabled female that is living on almost nothing - so there is NO way I can afford a mechanic. You sir are a God send. I got everything off on Sunday, had to take Monday off to recover, and put it all back together with a new center and top motor mount. Found out the lower is bad too, so that is ordered and thankfully will be a quick and easy fix. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! BTW...my 8 yo grandson who beat Childhood cancer at age 4 is also a Nathan!!

  • @jimmyc7540
    @jimmyc7540 3 года назад +4

    Hey Nathan great video very informative and helpful. Watch this video several times before attempting to do this job because I didn't want to spend $500 to have this done. The job went well 1 1/2 hrs start to finish just an FYI to other people doing this job if you want to make the mounts last a little bit longer if your car is is driven hard you can fill spool mounts up with windshield structural urethane the mounts should last forever. You pick up a small vibration but nothing like with a bad mount.Keep up the great work on the videos.

  • @F5000Racer
    @F5000Racer Год назад +1

    The upper and lower parts on the passenger side are torque struts, not engine mounts. The center mount, the one that is buried in the body, is THE engine mount. It carries the weight of the engine 24/7/365 and is tuned to handle idle shake of the engine. It fails first. When it fails, the upper and lower torque struts try to carry the load, which they are not designed to do, and then they fail too. The trans mount, located under the air cleaner box, is a load bearing mount also, but it is a flat mount, not circular, and is much easier to access. This video by Nathan is the best I've seen yet. Too many people ignore the center mount (which fails first about 100% of the time) because they're lazy or don't have the patience to do this job right. Do yourself a favor and change all 4 mounts when you do change them!

  • @zakwhite7645
    @zakwhite7645 2 года назад +1

    I was quoted $1859 at Christian Brother Automotive to have all 3 of these replaced. I had the timing belt replaced and I believe that motor mount is fine. It's the lower and upper that needs to be replaced. The quote for my mechanic is I think $1450 with the parts and without 1250. This is the most ridiculous price for the job. They stated they'd have to remove the engine is why it's expensive. I have yet to see an engine removed for this job on RUclips. I bought the upper and lower for $44.00 on Amazon. I can buy all 3 for ^60.00 on Amazon. My goodness auto repair places are astronomical. 9bolts that need to be removed or loosened. 2 torx on the lower for that mount piece in front. 2 on the lower for the main bolts and 1 for the support. The upper is the ground wire. The main bolt on the side. 3 from the top. I mean......... yah, it's not hard. If the job was $300 or $400 I could understand with the middle mount being replaced too.

    Had the same problem and took all mounts off including trans mount then popped the 4 lower strut bolts off then backed off shaft nuts and took both shafts out of hubs. The engine now can be lowered and pushed to the drivers side to get to center mount . Much quicker way but you need 2 Jack's to do. My second Jack was my motorcycle jack which steadies engine. I kept shafts in trans to maintain tranny oil level . Seems like out of the way work but not as much nuckle scraping work.

    At 265,000 miles, I've had the timing belt and water pump replaced twice in my '02 Neon SE. Not only did I never think to replace all the mounts along with the timing belt, it was never suggested by two different professional mechanics! If I knew then what I know now...
    I have a vibration while accelerating, which started a few weeks ago. What are the odds that this mount is fine, and I only need to replace the upper and lower mounts (and maybe the tranny mount)?

    Thanks , this so well done... I have two manuals Chilton and Haynes. Following both of these manual would be tragic, since the instructions are incomplete.. I also found discrepancies in the torque strut adjustments in these two manuals. you have given me the confidence to try. Its the last one I need to do. I have serious engine noise when accelerating. Its almost deafening inside. My muffler guy said it would be 500$ to replace this and the upper and lower torque struts,.. Then he pulled out a broken piece of this right engine mount. I am convinved the noise is NOT from engine mounts. Because its quiet until you step on the gas.. Nor is it from exhaust..I will find it on this 2005 Dodge NEon 2.0 sxt. Harmonic balancer.. ? Any ideas would be helpful..?

      The Chrysler MOPAR shop manual for PT Cruiser recommends pulling the engine to change the 4 mounts. As Nathan has demonstrated, even though this is a Neon 2.0L, the procedure he uses is going to be the same for the PT and does not require the engine to be removed completely.

    I guess it would be better to at say 100K miles just pull the motor (or at least lift it up) & do ALL these hard jobs at same time, be a lot cheaper than doing piece meal jobs

    Great vid. Clear, thorough, and to the point. Very helpful. Thank you.
    You may want to check and update your referrer/influencer links to Amazon (on all your vids, maybe). I tried to click the link for the 6000 lumen LED work light but it didn't work. I can only assume that seller or product is longer available at that link. Too bad they don't notify you when it happens. Seems like you could miss a lot of revenue this way.
