1991 Mustang motor mounts replacement

[Blueinfan]

BE VERY CAREFUL!!!!! The right side rear on my car is the one that snapped off on me , nearly flush with the block.

Nothing I tried worked to get it out, including heating the block cherry red in that area several times with my touch, on blaster for days, etc.

I ended up drilling it out and tapping the hole to 3/8 for now. Its holding just fine, but my engine is stock, no slicks, etc.

Total multi week nightmare and I nearly conceded and pulled the engine, but got it tapped straight so that worked. If I didnt have a lift in my shop I dont think I could have gotten it tapped straight as it was very difficult/ limited access to work.

Keep working it as you've been and dont snap it off like I did and spare yourself the pain and aggravation. Good luck.

I was finally able to get it off!

Are you trying to get the bolt from the trans to the mount or the nut from the mount to the cross member?

The right bolt that the mount screws into the transmission. I was finally able to take it out.

Nice work! Nice trans mount. Looks like the energy suspension mounts I used for the engine and trans.

I believe they are energy suspension mounts. I did not look at the box. I just took them out and installed them.

I should of read the instructions. I don't know how is a novice supposed to file the holes for the two screws when that transmission cross member is freaking steel
I used a Dremel to make the holes bigger. Put on some safety glasses and gloves and began to Dremel away.

Yes, I had to enlarge the holes in the cross member as well when I installed the energy suspension trans mount
