Title: trying to locate a motor mount for 2.3T WTH!
Post by: Demented2.3T on February 11, 2006, 10:05:38 AM
I been all over the parts store sites around me and none of them list a motor mount for my 86TC or any TC at all. WTF???? i know chuck makes the nice poly ones but i need a quick fix now as i was powershifting second when all of a sudden the hood moved and the shifter went far to the right LOL. Im not interested in a set of chucks mounts for this car cuz i need to get some for my turbo project car. any help would be greatful

I MIGHT still have a set of motor mounts from the '84 TC I pulled the engine from...I'll have to go look and see tomorrow.

thats cool let me know. I rigged it up so its drivable. I guess on my 86 it had a wire that is wrapped around the  mount to keep it together, well the wire is what broke. So i went to home depot and got some braided wire and some clamps and rigged it. its holding good so far

'87-88 motor mounts are different from '83-86 ones.

Demented- do you need the entire motor mount, or just the bushing?

83-85 and 86-88

the 86's use the same mounts as the 87-88's

I have a set of 88 mounts and they are different than the 86 mount that is on the car. not sure if the other would work but they are definently a different design. 

RedLXI think my rigged up setup will work fine but if i have problems i will get back with ya

Do the motor mounts in your car have the Torx head at the top of the mount?

Interesting.

Motormenace has a set of Chuck W mounts in his 86, which were for the 86-88's.

Chuck would be the man to be able to answer you better.
