How To Replace 1999 Ford Escort Lower Motor Mount and Transmission Mount
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I had a bad clunking sound coming from the undercarriage of my third generation Escort LX. I looked around and found the lower mounts in bad shape. Watch to see how easy it is to change these out. This also applies to the Mercury Tracer and Ford Escort 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 with the CVH SPI2000 SPI 2.0L engine.

After I put on rear mount I left mount and bracket loose a lil so mount would fit into holes and it took about 30 mins all in all.this video was very helpful
@John Lowery awesome info! Thanks for helping all of us out. This is what I love about this platform and the community. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
Great video thank you
@victorzacarias2773 you are very welcome. Thank YOU for watching and commenting. Glad you liked it. ~Mr. C.
Great job! I think I can do this.
Caribbean Queen that is awesome! I think you can do this too. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
Justin, I was curious how your timeless fence post are holding up and are you happy with the product. I’m looking to build fence.
@Terry Engstrand the posts are holding up great. I am happy with the product. They are very durable. We have used different fence systems and feel this one will be the one we go with from now on. ~Mr. And Mrs. C.
Im having SEVERE trouble installing the farthest rear transmission mount. Im having trouble lining up the front trans mount stud, can get the rear one through the hole of the trans brace no problem but ive pried and hammered and tried everything to get it to line up with no luck
Mine is a 1997 escort wagon automatic btw
@saveusall6915 that is interesting. I did not have that issue with mine. Do you have the engine supported with a jack? Are you sure you have the correct mounts? If all of that is good maybe check for proper orientation of the new mounts. Hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.
Hello Justin, love your videos, have a 99 zx2 auto transmission. I need to replace the rear mount (chewed up to hell), but I can't find a rear mount that looks like yours. The only one I did find said manual transmission in the description. Also, the ones that say they will fit have a whole bracket thing attached, and it also doesn't look like yours. Please help, I'm at a loss here.
@Jesse Ruyle I found this set that looks exactly like mine. Take a look at the link below. If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.

Is that first crossmember with the 4 17mm bolt important for engine/transmission alignment?
And thank you the video was very helpful
@kalebadams8109 I am guessing here. I would lean more towards structural integrity of the front suspension system more than engine and transmission alignment. Again, just a guess. Thanks for watching and asking. ~Mr. C.
Thank you so much for the good video! Subscribing! Phillip Hall
@phillip hall you are very welcome. Thank you for the sub and kind comment! ~Mr. C.
Where did you get the mount? I got one aftermarket from Rock Auto. Even though it was the most expensive one they sell, it a garbage piece and actually has more flex the original with cracked rubber! The center pin of the new piece is at an angle, which I believe to be on outright flaw.
TheOdinOrion sounds like you got some from a bad batch! That Stinks. Below you will find a link to the set I purchased. Thanks for watching. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.

Will the engine/transmission mount work for both automatic and manual transmissions? I have an automatic 1999 ford escort lx so I was curious if the part will still fit my car
@Chi the automatic and manual are different part numbers. The video is of an automatic and the link to the parts I used are provided in the description is for the automatic. Thanks for watching. ~Mr. C.
Did you also replace the one on the top under the hood? Thanks! Phillip Hall
@phillip hall I did not. I had done that one a while back when I replaced the timing belt. I wasn't making videos at the time but wish I did. If I do in the future I will be sure to make a video of it. Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.

Thank you....🙂
I need the grommets that were removed from the brace. Anyone know what they’re called or a part number?
@Ted Lowenthal I think I know what you are asking for. They are called Engine Mount Support Isolators. The Ford part number FOCZ-6A061-A. I found an eBay listing with pictures to make sure this is the correct part (link below). Thanks for watching and asking. ~Mr. C.

Hey did she vibrate a lot when in drive or at idle ?? Also does she vibrate through the steering wheel after mount fix ? Gosh mine 98 Mercury vibrates like crazy through steering wheel plus rear mirror vibrates driving lol .
@Todd Elwart she does vibrate still at idle but not as bad as it used to. While moving I have not noticed any vibration in the seat or steering wheel. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Mr. C.
I have wheel vibration so you guys are saying after the fix you still had vibration ? I have vibration mostly at a stop light maybe the mounts aren't that bad on mine
Ok. I have a 02 zx2. This vid didnt work. The bracket on my rear mount had nuts welded to bracket. No wiggle room. The amount of space to remove bracket bolts did not allow clearance. Final solution. Remove top passenger side motor mount. Pull battery and housing. Remove secondary motor mount. Drop engine low as hell till top bracket bolt cleared. Still havent voodooed the brace back on with new parts. Like tetris. But more frustrating.
@Darth Latimer that's a bummer the process is not the same. Thank you so much for posting this information. I know it will help a fellow mechanic. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm got it all back together now. I have a new hatred for engeneers. Everything in vids made sense. Everything on my car was pointlessly difficult and backwards. Ce le ve. Ford.
What's the tourque specs?
@Impulse410 check out this post (below) I found on FEOA. It should provide all of the information requested. If it does not, let me know and we can help you out. Thanks for watching and asking. ~Mr. C.

It doesn't look to hard but i just don't want to b under a car with a loosened engine
Morning Star I understand exactly what you are saying. I left the upper mounts in place to create a safe working environment underneath. Even if the upper mounts fail completely the mounts mechanically will not allow the engine and transmission to drop more than a inch. Excellent observation and thank you for watching and commenting! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm yea i dunno if i wanna do it myself. I got all 4 so i would replace the top 2 and then the bottom 2 if i was gonna do it myself
Morning Star sounds like you have a plan! That's how I learn, just jump in and get started. Go for it! ~Mr. C.
