The Motor Mount Thread

[RhoadBlock]

*****Thank you to @Inquisitive; for a 2015 update!******


This thread will be for discussion of motor mounts for the MS3 & MS6. All currently available mounts are listed, relative prices, & links where they can be purchased. Note: you may be able to find them for sale elsewhere, possibly for cheaper. I simply linked them to their own company's site. If you have any questions regarding mounts, want to know which duro is best for you, etc, read thru this thread first! IF and ONLY IF it has not been answered already in this thread, post your new question in this thread. Do NOT create a new one.

Most of these if you buy brand new will come with installation instructions, but if you buy used and can't figure it out, or simply want to plan ahead, How-To's may be found in here:

One of the first mods almost everybody does is the Rear Motor Mount (RMM). As well you should. The factory bushings are mediocre and allow too much movement. There is a small amount of drivetrain slop and shifting may feel a bit notchy. Upgrading the RMM stiffens up the drivetrain slop quite a bit allowing for smoother shifting for one. The Passenger Side Motor Mount (PMM) & Transmission Mount (TM) are mediocre and are big eye sores to boot. Upgrading the mounts allows for much better shifting response and handling as the engine isn't rocking or being tossed around in the bay, but it comes at the expense of some NVH. Vibrations are felt at idle, tho this can be remedied by raising idle RPM if you have an AP. Vibrations often lessen after several months/several hundred miles of breaking in.
