Well my(91 gt hatch 5spd) car is undergoing a replacement of front gasket,crank gasket,distributor o-ring. Im saving the rear stuff for when i have to get the clutch done. But i noticed my motor shakes like a puppy in the snow when i rev it it up especially to one side. So i looked and the mounts are shot. And i opted for solid motor mounts just because there better,give cooler feel,and a lil cheaper. but not sure which ones to get...I want to do it while everything is taken apart because its just easier that way....And although i can see them i need to order them asap but all these different kinds are confusing me....
so is it these...

I would go with either stock mounts and a clevice or prothane or energy suspension polyurethane mounts. Solid ones will cause vibration and can be a little hard on the frame.
Just my opinion.

check the balancer.

Mine came apart shortly after having a very bad vibration...

How hard is it to change motor mounts? Something I could do w/o a lift?

Doing mounts is a fairly simple thing to do - takes maybe a couple hours for a first timer.

I hear that. I did mine when it was 115*F outside. Every 30 mins I had to stop and hook up a saline-drip while resting inside the freezer.

Oh, The only serious thing I can add is that: to access one of the pass side bolts, I found it easiest to disconnect the battery and then remove the starter cable at the starter. With that cable removed, it made accessing one of the hard-to-reach bolts easy (I did it through the pass wheel well).

And for anyone using parts store mounts, sometimes they dont come with the correct threads to reuse your old bolts. Check first.

Good luck.

The urethane mounts work good and are designed after the convertible mounts. Just remember to use a block of wood under the oil pan before you jack it up.

Good Luck!

My stock mounts were broken in half and what i did was that i bought a couple of metal plates and with a welder i welded the plates to the sides of the mounts where they are open...works just like solid but since it has all that rubber takes out almost all vibration...the motor doesnt move at all...but the body does when i rev it

We got the second ones they work good and fit even our 2" long tubes (the Kooks fit GREAT btw).But they did need about a 3/8" spacer on the drivers side (I used a aluminum square) to make the motor sit level.

Edit: I forgot,we got a D&D k-member so the fits probably differant than stock.

Dont go with #1,they look like POS.
