need some help

[smoke187]

im also going to try another crossmember if that don't work

[smoke187]

well i did a little testing and i really think it might be the back mount it shakes on the bottom of the engine on the passengers side

i remember cutting the tabs off that stick out the side of the rear mount before installing the inserts

[FE3-323]

im telling ya the inserts are JUNK

[smoke187]

ya but its a pita to get that rear mount out if i get it out can i grind off that tab on the bracket and turn the bolt around so it comes out the other side

[FE3-323]

i dont' reccomend grinding that tab down, that will make your life even harder

I don't think they're that bad.

If you put them into mounts that aren't wasted, they do their job.

I've got a set of the ES inserts, put into NEW mounts, ran them on my wagon for three years, no problems other than some wheel hop. I just went with my welded mounts when I installed my LSD, just to stop any wheel hop (I was sick of breaking axles).

The ES inserted mounts are now in my BP'd 323, I think that they are fine for an N/A setup, but repeated abuse of the high torque loads of a turbo engine are not what they were designed for.

when ever i get them in i will let you guys know how it works out but the mounts already installed are brand new

[smoke187]

well if i don't end up fixing this with the change of crossmember and mounts it's going back to stock

FILL YOUR MOUNTS USE 1" SUPPORT WASHERS. you will not regret the change & have the option to sell your insert to someone who will be able to make more use of them

The inserts worked great on my previous engine with nitrous. But now that I'm boosted and the power comes on down low, they are only good for making my change rattle at idle. The biggest problem is wheel hop. I'm sure the 150k mile control arm bushings arn't helping matters, but the inserts sure arn't doing much for keeping the engine put.

I had a similar problem with my 94 Proto. The shifter moves a little but thats just the torqe. My problem ended up being the rear bushing for the tranny. The sound.... I never had one but did make a metal grinding noise before the Flywheel/Clutch went out. That's when I noticed the Bushing was bad. I still think that the bushing is what caused my old "new" clutch/flywheel to be messed up due to an uneven balance from the bad tranny bushing

Any chance you saved the part numbers for the crossmember bushings? I couldn't find them in the catalog at OnlineMazdaParts.com.

[smoke187]

get them from your local dealer they dont cost to much
