New motor mounts.
2 Attachment(s)
So, I've been dealing with sloppy shifting for a long time now and I decided to get new motor mounts. So, I ordered the mazdaspeed mounts from Emilio and waited patiently for them to arrive. Last night I went to install them and pulled the old ones out and lo and behold, one of them is broken. That would explain the sloppy shifting. 2 hours later, the new ones were in and WOW. I can actually predict where 3rd and 5th gears are going to be now! Also, my clutch shudder is pretty much eliminated.
Here's the old ones. Attachment 205468 And the new. Attachment 205469 |
I need to do this, I had assumed it was the transmission mounts. Good to know.

Wes, how is the vibration? Ive got one of these in my garage to replace a broken one and have been considering just ordering another but was a bit worried about it vibrating so much. |

So the transmission doesnt have rubber mounts? How does it mount? I just assumed because it feel like the looseness was closer to the trans then the motormounts.

I've got MMR motor mounts on my '90 and it's amazing how much of a difference it made. Shifts much better and they completely eliminated wheelhop. Probably wouldn't recommend them for a daily driver though.

Thank you for not being a dick about my stupidity, I honestly had no idea it was like that. Mind if I snatch that pic? Pretty neat IMHO.

Here's another of an older Miata than the previous posted one.

I never realized how important the PPF is. I learn so much here.

You put a seat on that thing and you've got the ultimate in added lightness! |
Mazda comps here and that's pretty much how my mounts looked when I replaced them.
