2 - Installation - Rear Motor Mount

Rear Motor Mount Installation:

The most common Motor Mount swap is always the rear one , so we will commence with it. You can use both ramps or jack stands w/jack to lift the car for this install. In our case we used jack stands and wheel chocks (it is always an added precaution to use those to ensure the car doesn't roll back). The rear motor mount is easily accessible and only 5 bolts are involved in the process.

To begin loosen this 17mm bolt that connects the bushing end of the motor mount to the chassis.



(it may have loc-tite so get that elbow grease ready) Next, loosen this 17mm bolt that connects to the other side of the motor mount (in this case an aftermarket motor mount was previously installed).



Next, you will have to loosen and remove the 3 (19mm) bolts and the bracket they attach to the transmission.



Once these tasks are complete the old motor mount should be able to slide out.

Here is the hardware used along with the Cp-e RMM

And here is how it is properly put on the RMM



(notice one side is engraved and it must face down when installed)

Nice write up.

The CP-E mounts definatly are the highest quality out of any. The new pricing scheme on CP-E products is a bit dubious though. Back when the RMM only cost $130 it was definatly the best buy. The increase to $230 was a no-no, and now they are at $180. $180 still seems a bit high though.

I doubt i'll get the side mounts ever, but that tranny mount in particular looks like a beast.

[rodrigo]

the quality is definitely there, the price ....well, companies like sure and jbr will force cpe s prices to go down ..if they want to be competitive.

because this kit as a whole is what , like 800-900? or how much? and that is a lot of loot

[karl-hungus]

jesus. i paid one third that for all 3 mounts.

Yes please. Very good write up. 75 duro it is then.

Yeah, but they are pure sex when you get them on the block. I haz all 3 and forgot what wheel hop even feels like. Hardly any engine movement and with the 60 duro I hardly have any vibes at all.

And with the qualitiy of these mounts, the reliability gives me great piece of mind that whenever I drop my clutch or get off and on the gas really quick that my block isn't going to drop out of my engine bay and onto the ground.

I will gladly pay the extra money for a quality part that I know isn't going to take a giant shit on me. Thanks to CP-E I don't have to worry about any of that. CP-E FTW bitches!!!

i was there for this!

So, just looking at the RMM installation - you sure those washers go there? I only have the metal spacers around the bushing, with the washers on the outer edges of the "forks" of the mount.

I already installed mine with red loctite so I'm not changing it either way, it just seems a little odd that cp-e wouldn't make the spacers large enough to begin with. Then again, they also made that plate on the TMM held on with allen screws, so who knows.

[Speed3eak]

Huh - if a moderator is reviewing this, ignore the last one. The photos on page 2 threw me off. The attached photos (page 3) look exactly like mine. My bad.

I just put these in myself about a week ago. Not all three, but the drivers side and passenger side because one was torn to all hell and the other was starting to crack. First things I wanna say is that the instructions that came with them sucked balls especially the pictures. Second after reading your install and review it has now become apparent why I had such a hard time getting the ground wire on the passenger side mount to line up properly; they drilled the hole on the wrong side of my mount. Idiots. Really? I expect better quality control than that when paying so much for these mounts.

As for performance. Yeah the motor seems much more solid in the engine bay now. However I seem to have more wheel hop than I've ever had before. On the street before these mounts all I would do in first and second gear is spin the tires. Now with these mounts on if i get on it hard in first or second its wheel hop city. The only place I ever had wheel hop before these mounts was at the drag strip. I even went back after a few days and checked all my work to make sure that I didn't miss something or put something in wrong or not torque something down enough. Everything was nice and tidy. Oh well. Hope the mounts get better and wheel hop becomes a non issue like it used to be on my stock mounts.

I have all Of these mounts installed as of a week ago. What a Difference!!! I love it! No More wheel hop!! First gear sucks way less!! I get every ounce of power to the wheels. I love the vibes too! Its not overwhelming at all! I think I would have liked a lil more actually. The guys at Cp-e were great for installing them for me too! A major plus! Next is the intake and the bov! Do your mounts! You'll Love it! You get what you pay for, I cant afford a dropped engine!

[heeltoe]

is there a break in time for these mounts? i just installed mine less then a week ago. but when i try to take it to high rpm in 1-2 gear it seems like there is way too much vibration. after a couple of days of driving it seems easier to take it to higher rpm but as far as right now 1-2 gear high rpm just doesn't seem smooth.

1000 miles they should be fully broken in. Make sure yu check the torque on them too

[thatsmrgimp2u]

Just installed my tmm today. Must say torque steer is completely gone now. Not that it was ever a big deal, but I can't say I miss it. Car has much better shifts now, but that may be due to my Stocker taking a shit after I installed the Ingalls stiffy on the opposite side. For the people who have done the bsd and had to go back to the stock passenger mount, I think the stiffy is a great alternative.

Anyway all is good minus one loud clunk while decelerating in 2nd. I'll look into more Sunday and check all my torque specs again.

Great write up.

how is the cabin noise and the vibration feel with the additional stiffy? i heard from other people its bad.

after 500 miles it feels a lot better i can now take it to higher rpms and it feels smooth now i feel so connected to the floor.

[thatsmrgimp2u]

It's not too bad. And I've got it set to medium stiffness. This is coming from a guy who thought the stock cat back with res delete was too loud...

I just installed my 60 Duro CP-E RMM. I must say first time driving after installing it you can feel the vibrations but its only in the sub 1500 RPM range. I've had it installed for a couple of days now and the vibrations have let off a bit. The mounts helped with torque steer and launching the car. Overall great product and quality.

Give it a couple weeks and it will die down significantly. It will never be gone 100% but it also isn't a piece of shit like the stock one. So... meh.

wait till you take it to higher rpm feels like a motorcycle kinda of.
