Snapped Motor Mount...A different problem
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 9:16 AM
So a few months ago I snapped a motor mount bolt after replacing my motor mount. No problem...I took it to a shop to have it repaired. What I got back was a button weld strait down the middle of my motor mount were the bolt used to be (forward bolt). Ill get some pics up here in a bit but it pretty much ruined the bolt hole and motor mount.

My question is how do I go about properly repairing this (if there is a proper way)? If I do have to just "live with it" how hard will it be to change out the clutch etc? I guess I could always just drill the weld out and have it rewelded.

Needless to say I am not happy about it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately it was the upper motor mount. The weld is In the bolt hole closest to the front. I should have pictures soon if I can get this card reader to work right.

You can buy the whole bracket with the mount.
