Notice: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause misalignment and destruction
of certain drive train components. When a single mount breaks, the remaining
mounts are subjected to abnormally high stresses.
Notice: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack
under the oil pan, any sheet metal, or the crankshaft pulley. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump screen, jacking against the
oil pan may cause the pan to be bent against the pump screen. This will result
in a damaged oil pickup unit.
- Raise and support the
engine with a screw jack.
- Raise the engine in order
to complete the following tasks:
2.1. | Remove the weight from the mount. |
2.2. | Place a slight tension on the rubber cushion. |
2.3. | Observe the mount while raising the engine. |
- Replace the mount if the following conditions exist:
• | Heat check cracks on the hard rubber surface |
• | The rubber cushion is separated from the metal plate of the mount. |
• | There is a split through the rubber cushion |
- If the mount is loose, lower the engine and tighten the bolts
or the nuts to the engine frame or the bracket.
- Push up and pull down on the transmission extension housing. Observe
the transmission mount.
- Replace the mounting if the following conditions exist:
• | The rubber cushion is separated from the metal plate of the mounting. |
• | The mounting has bottomed out. |
• | The extension housing moves up but not down. |
- If a mount is loose, tighten the bolts or the nuts. Refer to
