I put on a side shift engine mount on a 2.0 engine. Could I have put it on wrong? The opening for the shift linkage goes through the hole in the motor mount. How do you know if you placed the engine mount correctly so the hole in the engine mount is in the correct location? Can you put the engine mount 180 degrees out of phase?
Thanks, Buck |

Yes, it's possible to flip the orientation. and it isn't fun to change it back if you don't find out until the engine is in the car. As mepstein said, the opening is on the left (driver's side).

It's not that difficult to replace the motor mount bar. Remove the rear shift rod, then two bolts on the outer end and two nuts on the inner rubber mounts. Make sure you're supporting the engine first, of course.
It may be possible to put the bar in upside down. The lip under the chassis pods that the bar mounts to may be tall enough to foul on the bar; I forget how much extra height there is on the ends of the bar. If you try to install the bar swapped left-to-right, the hole for the shift linkage will be on the wrong side of the car's centerline. Obviously wrong... --DD |
