Replace engine mounts 2010 gt

[joseph.78]

Hey, can anyone give me any info on how to change the engine mounts? Mainly the left and right ones the front looks fairly straight forward, but i looked under at the other 2 im not sure how to access them and from where.

Thanks

Not sure for GenV but generally do one side at a time, securely on jack stands, carefully tilt engine away from mounts using a jack.
At your own risk and preferably get a mechanic to do it on a hoist if in doubt.

Consult your FSM, link in my signature

Thanks yeah i get that, i dont know about the gen 4 but the gen 5 they are buried in there, im not even sure how you get them out like as in get in there to undo or remove them.
Thanks though

You know, the FSM workshop manual for your car has the info, procedures, the official documentation...

Just find it, download it, search it.

The procedure will be outlined in a section related to remove and refit the engine and or gearbox.

There’s a link to all FSM’s in my signature...

Anyway the FSM is good to have regardless, I can really only find the USD version, but I'm sure ADM/EUDM/General Market is out there...

It's also useful to search forums for info and this is how to for your query:
https://www.google.com.au/search?sxsrf= ... CAw&uact=5

So you can see the intent of the search: genV, a huge market enthusiast forum and a hit with aftermarket upgrade mount info, specifically the third hit:
https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread. ... 36375.html

As for the FSM, this is a diagram from the 5eat section, eg download the fsm, find the transmission section, open the pdf for eg 5eat and seach "mount".

Heres the mounts:

If you want to be sure just lookup the remove and refit procedure in forum posts and or the FSM.

I wanted to begin to understand the drama of installing a proper 6mt in a GenV

Are you going for eg new mounts, dropping your box or does your engine vibrate excessively?

Yeah id love to change mine to a manual.

Just wanted to replace them with stock, i have a fair bit of vibration also a bit of a shudder that may or may not be from the mounts.

Lookup my avcs faq and do the vary rpm check as described, auto should be warmed up in neutral. I guess.
