  1. How many transmission mounts does a 2001 Acura CL Type S 3.2L MFI SOHC VTEC 6 cylinder have? I took my car to the dealer and I was told that I had to have ALL of my transmission mounts replaced but I don't know how many it has.

  2. I've spent over seven Grand on my car fixing it over the course of many years watching just your videos and it has been so satisfying to learn everything that I have and to be able to do everything by myself now with that being said I'm literally on my way to go get motor mounts at the moment

  3. Can a bad trans mount cause clicking or ticking around driver side that sounds like a cv or front drive axle? 08 jeep grand cherokee 3.7. It has that shit ass automatic traction system. Been trying to diagnose this for a long time

  4. My son 2015 ls v6 camaro makes a noise when he turns left or right turn all the way, does not shake only when turning, standing still or when driving and where are these motor mount??

  5. just a quick question have a 2009 civic manual. When i take off at 1st gear my car shakes so i have to apply more gas about 1500-2000 rpm afterwards everything is smooth. is it coz of mounts or something else completely. current at about 173000kms

  6. You're probably not gonna see this but would you recommend replacing all the mounts at the same time? Or just replacing the ones that look bad or take the most torque. The car is a 2005 acura RL

  7. Doesn't the transmission mount affect the way the car accelerates kind of like a delayed reaction when you press the gas? Not the sound that you get when the transmission is going bad.

  8. 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix.
    Just got the car when I test drove it I thought it was just wheel balance but when driving the car home it feels like tires out of balance but when I let the gas off it goes away. The seller had mentioned the person that fixed the exhaust said it needed a motor mount would that cause my symptom?
    It's not a real violent vibration or anything again feels much like a tire out of balance.
    The car only has 103,000 mi on it.

  9. A few days ago I heard a clunk sound when my car(Toyota Aurion 2007 150.000km ODO) switched from reverse gear to driving gear. It feels great now to know what to fix. It's really helpful video. Thank you SOOOOO much Chris. Cheers!

  10. Hey Chris my 2013 Ford Taurus SE 3.5L was just in the shop for a water pump, timing chain, and cat change. The engine had to be removed and taken apart. I come in the shop and see a code for misfiring on cylinder 5. And when I put it in reverse the car is grinding when the accelerator is pressed only not when rolling in reverse. The mechanic says it’s a motor mount but I’m afraid something else is wrong. Can you please advise.

  11. can a bad transmission mount cause knocking or rattling noises when going over bumps or ridges in the road?

    theres a weird noise coming from front driver side, replaced struts and its still there

    my mechanic further checked and said transmission mount collapsed

  12. Thank you for posting your videos. My 2003 Honda Accord shakes like crazy whenever it is in Drive but sitting still. I just replaced all the motor and transmission mounts. It never shakes when in Park, but only when the car is in Drive and I am completely stopped… What do you think the issue is?

  13. Hiya, I'm a huge fan and wondering if you, or someone reading this could help….

    I have a ford fiesta 2008 1.4 tdci and as I accelerate, there's a single clear KNOCK sound from the front of the car. this knock happens while driving through 1st-3rd gear but not on 4th or 5th. there's no juddering, feedback that can be felt or vibration, but it's as loud as if someone was hitting the inside of the bonnet with a hammer.
    took it to 2 mechanics and they can't figure it out, but both say it sounds like it's coming from behind the dashboard, but neither were willing to find it out and said "it's fine to drive as it is".

    Please help!

  14. I have watched so many of your videos. Thanks. I don't work on my own car much anymore, but I have cleaned the map sensor, throttle body, easy, do it in the driveway things. Good to see it done correctly, before I try it!

  15. Got any idea on rhe cause of a loud popping noise when you go from park to reverse? Just bought the wife a 2013 sienna le. Though maybe it was the motor mounts because i remembered this vid but i dont rhink thats the problem.

  16. I know this video is pretty old but I need assistance. I just replaced motor mounts 3 months ago but unluckily hit a pretty big bump pretty hard. I’ve found out my dogbone mount (vw mk4) is the cause. Do you think it would be okay to replace the bushings only? Nothing looks bent/torn but I’m assuming it’s just the rubber bushing as the mount is practically new

  17. My Ford Taurus Ses 2002 does it as well. I'm not sure why but I am beginning to think this is the problem? It only does it setimes not always and sometimes harder than other times or sometimes softly. What should I do?
