just want to know which ones are the electric on my 03 SE AT?
if i replace them with ones which is not electric... will there be any problem? (engine light or anything?)

I know there are four mounts in total.. are two of them on the cross member? and one close to the drive belt, the other one is close to the transmission?

I found a set of mounts for $94 on ebay...and I dont think I can do the job by myself.... anyone can give me an idea of the labor fee? I had a quote for 400 to replace them..(just labor)...is it fair..?

Thanks in advance...

you wont throw a code.

xumengpeter

thanks..so i can go with manual ones with no problem?

yes you can.. i was quoted 250-300, but i ended up doing them myself 2 days ago. It was a bit of a pain, but fairly straightforward.

xumengpeter

250-300 for 4 of them? I helped a friend changing his clutch...i really dont want to mess up with the motor mount/...

vybz05

250-300 for the torque mounts, front and rear, so that 400 quote sounds about right for 4. While i was doing the job I got so frustrated to the point I was ready to pay someone to come finish it for me. But after some more reading here on the org i got it done. All in all, i saved a good chunk of change doing it myself, and it wasnt really that difficult. Read all of the threads on changing motor mounts a few times and you have to decide whether or not your capable/willing to do it. As long as you have some strength on you, its very doable.

Hey I'm taking on this project too, I don't have a problem with doing it myself but I want to know if the ebay mounts are good, I want to avoid changing them again in a short time

xumengpeter

chances are its probably fine... its a piece of rubber in a metal circle... has to last at least 50k

xumengpeter

hopefully...but didnt find a good write up to do this....quoted for 350 of 4 mounts...
anyone can find me a good write up?

On this same page there's another post about engine mounts read the posts here they might help https://maxima.org/showthread.php?t=585815


Thanks for that link xumegpeter that really did it for me to decide to go with those, will buy tomorrow and hopefully can have them by the end of the week!

xumengpeter

no problem man ~~ but cant load ur link...

xumengpeter

searched for this, and got some idea but not thoroughly know what will be going on...

So is there anyway I can take the mounts(by the radiator and firewall) out without taking off the cross member?

how about the passenger side mount and transmission mount? how to replace them...
\most threads are about the front and rear ones...

anyone can give me a hint? thanks

vybz05

Your probably better off just taking the crossmember out. Its a pretty tight fit in there and doing under the car with limited space can be tricky. Is there a reason you dont want to remove the crossmember?

xumengpeter

one of the cross member bolt is stripped... dont know if i can put it back on if i take it off...otherwise i will have only 3 bolts holding the cross member... any idea for replacing the two side mounts?

vybz05

Ive seen threads on here showing how to do the side ones apparently its not hard. I have to do mine soon so ill need to start searching around here around the time im going to do them. All the info is here, so keep looking and youll find an answer
