I bought a new mount at Auto Zone the other day. I put it on the drivers side of the new motor and put the motor/tranny into the car. I got the bolt in to the PS motor mount and had a heck of a time getting the DS bolt in. I spent about 4 hours with help from my wife and a neighbor. Still no luck. I know some times it's a PITA but usually it only takes a few shakes of the motor to drop into place. I finally got pi$$ed and pulled it back out. I took the motor mount off and tried to put the mount directly on. Guess what? It still wouldn't go on. I could get one side of the bolt into the hole but could not straighten it out. This was a DEA brand mount. Looked cheap to start with. Made in Thailand. I took it back. I'll never get one from that company again. Plus it had no bolt through the center. Posting this to try and save some headaches for others. Plus I'll always try the mount and bolt before it gets attached to the engine. May save some time.
ive always used the 'Pioneer' brand and so far after all these years, they've always fit like a glove. thanks for the info Don
I never had any luck with stuff made with metal from Auto Zone. 'Anchor' brand is another good name to trust (so far) when it comes to motor mounts.
As stated anchor mounts have been good to me as well.... I stay away from the Wlamart type Parts places...... You get what you pay for..... Americans will figure it out sooner or later
