I can tell you love what you do. When a guy has to wear a coat and gloves and is up alone at midnight, well that says it all.

Thanks for putting this video together, it was VERY helpful for me. I just replaced those 3 passenger side engine mounts and 2 belts for $170. I bet this job at a shop would've been $650! Because of your video, I completed the entire job in 3 hours and that included going to the auto parts store! Again, much thanks.

This is an awesome video I work in a transmission shop and I use this video to change the broken motor mount the bolt actually broke off so I had to replace it all I've been a mechanic for 35 years and I'm still learning new things thank you for this video it's helped out tremendously I watch some other videos of people doing the same thing but they weren't is detail is this awesome video keep up the good work

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it. I called for a quote and was quoted $530.00 I watched the video and bought the mount for 26.00 and spent maybe 3 hours doing it saved me over $500.....

thank you very much Mexico in the house!!

That tensioner is designed with spot for a 3/8 ratchet or breaker to go in no socket needed

I can never thank you enough for this AWESOME video. I am handy around the house - but when it comes to cars...no bueno. I'm a 52 yo disabled female that is living on almost nothing - so there is NO way I can afford a mechanic. You sir are a God send. I got everything off on Sunday, had to take Monday off to recover, and put it all back together with a new center and top motor mount. Found out the lower is bad too, so that is ordered and thankfully will be a quick and easy fix. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! BTW...my 8 yo grandson who beat Childhood cancer at age 4 is also a Nathan!!

Changed all 4 mounts, on my dodge neon started at 11 in the morning finished @ 7:30 that evening. Saved a whole lot of money. Thanks for all the you tube vids.

Quick observation. Experience pays off ! Complicated repair, way to follow through ! 👍

Hey Nathan great video very informative and helpful. Watch this video several times before attempting to do this job because I didn't want to spend $500 to have this done. The job went well 1 1/2 hrs start to finish just an FYI to other people doing this job if you want to make the mounts last a little bit longer if your car is is driven hard you can fill spool mounts up with windshield structural urethane the mounts should last forever. You pick up a small vibration but nothing like with a bad mount.Keep up the great work on the videos.

This is the best video you'll find, This guy did a excellent job showing you, 1 to 10,,10 beeing a ridiculously Impossible, this is about a 7.YOU CAN DO IT!!! Theese cars,,,if taken care of are damn good little cars,do it once,,do it right then Laugh at the people at the gas pump,, Besides this neon keeps my mind off all my bills, In a way, it's like being married..

Oh man! Thank you a thousand times! You just saved me a whole weekend worth of work! You're a life saver!

Incredibly helpful, thank you so much for the video. Saved me about $400 on a $25 part, about a 4 hour install because I'm new to working on cars.

Thank you for all your explanations. I have a PT Cruiser and when this engine mount will die, I know I have the solution. Thanks again.

Good Lord! All that work just to replace a motor mount. No wonder people let cars fall into disrepair.

The upper and lower parts on the passenger side are torque struts, not engine mounts. The center mount, the one that is buried in the body, is THE engine mount. It carries the weight of the engine 24/7/365 and is tuned to handle idle shake of the engine. It fails first. When it fails, the upper and lower torque struts try to carry the load, which they are not designed to do, and then they fail too. The trans mount, located under the air cleaner box, is a load bearing mount also, but it is a flat mount, not circular, and is much easier to access. This video by Nathan is the best I've seen yet. Too many people ignore the center mount (which fails first about 100% of the time) because they're lazy or don't have the patience to do this job right. Do yourself a favor and change all 4 mounts when you do change them!

Thank you sir. Did not know that lil' devil was even there.

Thanks for video, like others saved me a lot if money. I watched many other videos before watching yours several times, before and during my repair.

Thank you. This helped me sooo much. I wish I would have known about this video when I had to replace my tensioner pully. Your video was so much better than any of the others I watched for that. Even though that isn't what you were doing, you had to go through all the same steps and you made it much easier for me. I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much! Was able to replace all the mounts on my son's Neon this weekend! Very much appreciated!

There is a strut mount adjustment that is supposed to be done and if it is not set correctly it could cause vibration and premature motor mount breakage. Did you check this adjustment?

Fantastic job and advices. Thank you very much. :-)

2nd time watching, got 2 do this bs. Tomarrow Thanks again , Professional video good job.

Man, this video was great! Thanks a bunch. I know it had to be aggravating

I've seen alot of these videos bc im doin this to my 03 Neon and this is the best video!!! the only pionter i woild give you is a 11/16" rench fits on the little "nipple" thing on top of the tensioner pulley so you can take tension off the belt to make the belt easier to remove/install

Thanks brother you saved my ass. Was able to get it done in about 3 hours. Cheers!!!

Thanks a lot for your turorial..!!! Definitely so helpful, since I have to the same job in my Neon... Have a great day!!! 👍👋

3rd time watching, just cracked a pint,h20 chaser, sun beating the hell out of me!!,,,,,,,here we go.

wow! what a wonderful fete in engineering Chrysler guys are just something to behold, first the hemispherical engine and now this! awsome! YOU sir are a genius and a very good instructor! ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT BEING PAID BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION! thank you for the expert video! STAY HAPPY

great video!

Tip for the tensioner you can get a 3/4 wrench and get it from the top

excelent job! and great explanation! thak you

Excellent 👍

Thank you.

Fill the new mount with epoxy. Will never fall apart.

Phenomenal video

Thank you so much for the video. I like your style. Simple and easy to follow. You saved me alot of money. I appreciate you Sir, thank you!!! Also what on the upper half needs to be torqued before finishing the last 2 mounts and T55?

Wow, Almost 10K Subscribers. Over 6 Million Views. Congrats Looking forward to summer videos. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

thank you sir ! for the video. lol I wish I had someone to work with me on my cars like you man, yiu sem knowledgeable and easy goin haha

thanks for the awesome walk through video really helped me out today

How is the car supported with the wheels off? just blocked up?

Awesome Video! Thank you so much!👑

What do you plan on reselling this for?

what kind of gloves are you using? Want to get some and they look like they work pretty good

what where the engineers smoking when they designed this? LOL!

On the tensioner if you take a prybar put on the lip of the tensioner pull back and the top motor mount you can take the tension off the belt and take it off that way

Do you, by chance, have a video on how to replace the transmission mount on the neon as well? That would be amazing if you did!!!

Did you use the mopar part?? I’ve heard it’s oil filled where aftermarkets are not and you still get some vibration with aftermarket?? Thoughts on this??

I followed your instructions took around 10hrs to change that one centre mount most time wasted figuring how to get it out and the metal bracket, I had disconnect ac cords to have more space.

👍 😊 👌 nice!

When you put the new mount on was there side to side movement with the bolts just finger tight . I mean could it be tightened not in the right place?

I was quoted $1859 at Christian Brother Automotive to have all 3 of these replaced. I had the timing belt replaced and I believe that motor mount is fine. It's the lower and upper that needs to be replaced. The quote for my mechanic is I think $1450 with the parts and without 1250. This is the most ridiculous price for the job. They stated they'd have to remove the engine is why it's expensive. I have yet to see an engine removed for this job on KZfaq. I bought the upper and lower for $44.00 on Amazon. I can buy all 3 for ^60.00 on Amazon. My goodness auto repair places are astronomical. 9bolts that need to be removed or loosened. 2 torx on the lower for that mount piece in front. 2 on the lower for the main bolts and 1 for the support. The upper is the ground wire. The main bolt on the side. 3 from the top. I mean......... yah, it's not hard. If the job was $300 or $400 I could understand with the middle mount being replaced too. GEEZ

You dont need to get a socket on the serpentine belt tensioner on the 2005 models. A 3/4 open ended wrench fits perfectly from above onto the pulley bracket casing. It was a time saver. Works great.

Had the same problem and took all mounts off including trans mount then popped the 4 lower strut bolts off then backed off shaft nuts and took both shafts out of hubs. The engine now can be lowered and pushed to the drivers side to get to center mount . Much quicker way but you need 2 Jack's to do. My second Jack was my motorcycle jack which steadies engine. I kept shafts in trans to maintain tranny oil level . Seems like out of the way work but not as much nuckle scraping work.

what size were the splash sheild bolts? you didn't mention bolt size. 10 mm or 8mm?

Do you have to take the tensioner out? I replaced the tensioner and top and bottom mounts and this one is bad now

I paid garage to replace all my mounts but the top and bottom mounts keep breaking. My question is how can I check to make sure they did replace this middle mount on my neon. I have feeling it's broken and that's why my top and bottom mounts keep breaking,

my neighbor is going to replace all 3 and my radiator on my 05 dodge neon... i do have a small vibration from the motor mount but don't know how bad it is.. but i am so ready for it to be fixed and ready!

looks like a real job. I know my engine is moving around too much and I can see that the top mount isn't broken. Is there a way to check that this center mount is bad before I get into this big job?

Isn’t there a hole on the tensioner body for an Allen key? Then one can move tensioner using Allen key? Maybe I’m wrong

I have very bad vibration on the express way in my neon. Was wondering your thoughts on it. Only happens when I let go of the accelerator.

A I've already replaced all. I got bad vibration on passenger side it must be it. What's your thoughts. Thanks

I bought a 2004 dodge neon a couple months ago . I need to replace the same mount that you just did. but I'm not good with cars. do you know how much people usually charge to do this?

Note to self stick to 90° not 180° engines lol. For my first ever motor mount project this is gonna create some cuss words. But Iv taken part in deeper projects

At 265,000 miles, I've had the timing belt and water pump replaced twice in my '02 Neon SE. Not only did I never think to replace all the mounts along with the timing belt, it was never suggested by two different professional mechanics! If I knew then what I know now... I have a vibration while accelerating, which started a few weeks ago. What are the odds that this mount is fine, and I only need to replace the upper and lower mounts (and maybe the tranny mount)?

Thanks for the video. Did you have a bad vibration because of that mount?

Thanks , this so well done... I have two manuals Chilton and Haynes. Following both of these manual would be tragic, since the instructions are incomplete.. I also found discrepancies in the torque strut adjustments in these two manuals. you have given me the confidence to try. Its the last one I need to do. I have serious engine noise when accelerating. Its almost deafening inside. My muffler guy said it would be 500$ to replace this and the upper and lower torque struts,.. Then he pulled out a broken piece of this right engine mount. I am convinved the noise is NOT from engine mounts. Because its quiet until you step on the gas.. Nor is it from exhaust..I will find it on this 2005 Dodge NEon 2.0 sxt. Harmonic balancer.. ? Any ideas would be helpful..? Do you have a favorite penetrating oil? This is an interesting test video...Ive been using blaster after using Liquid wrench my whole life. Switching back..kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrt1osVj1Kevhqc.html

Top job how many hours you done on this

All 4 rusty bolts broke off m motor mount now what? Can I drill holes throw the wheel well to get access and drill them out?

What size are the bolts for the mount itself? I may want to get the kind of wrench you used. You mentioned all the sizes but those LOL.

Bu3nas rarde que medida tiene el tornillo soporte central se me capo

Well I was kind of thinking would it be better to replace that t-55 what does standard hex bolt that has the same thread and length and Saj

Hey I drive a 2011 ram 1500 and I hot water sucked into my motor through my air filter now my truck won't turn over it just makes a single click

Would anyone be able to recommend a website where to buy the part?

i guess if your central mount is bad i would just leave it alone, replace the upper & lower mounts to help compensate cuz they are easy & hope for the best lol. too bad someone didnt invent a rubber insert for these as a semi fix for us cheap ass ppl lol

Great vid. Clear, thorough, and to the point. Very helpful. Thank you. You may want to check and update your referrer/influencer links to Amazon (on all your vids, maybe). I tried to click the link for the 6000 lumen LED work light but it didn't work. I can only assume that seller or product is longer available at that link. Too bad they don't notify you when it happens. Seems like you could miss a lot of revenue this way.

Changed it on my wife's 2003 Dodge Neon royal pain in the ass but I managed to get it in and out or I should say out and in

Got a 05 neon for 200.00, worst project car ever. You need 3 fingers to work on them! Great Video!

Well, guys, so you know I am 66 years old. Changed a lot of motor monts in my time, and i Just changed all 3 on my Dodge. And there's still another one that goes on the transmission too. That was the biggest pain in the ass I've been Through, and on top of everything Else three bolts on the motor mount snap off so I Welded the motor mode on the fraim, (True story) Bottom line this car runs like a brand new automobile with 60,000 miles on. 8hr job,, This piece of s*** will not beat me.

Well Pal,,, If you're gonna go change that motor mountain, you'd better go inside the house and have a couple of quick stiff shots of whiskey. Cause your temperature will be boiling about a half an hour, I have to Redo mine ,,,drill holes right through the frame,, I snapped off too taken them out and Snap 2 off Putting it back in there's ,,,,,I have one in Secure, and then I spot. Welded the rest of it in spots,,,well its holding, so far,,, but one of these days I'm gonna have to face it. I

i was just quoted 1000 to fix this issue. this same mechanic scammed me for 900$ to replace the last motor mount.

I guess it would be better to at say 100K miles just pull the motor (or at least lift it up) & do ALL these hard jobs at same time, be a lot cheaper than doing piece meal jobs

El que no sabe tiene que pagar a veces piensan que sólo es de poner y cuando desarman después están llorando pidiendo al mecánico que llegue arreglar la situación

Do not remove and install belts the way this guy shows. You can and will break the chords in the belt and be replacing it soon after

16:21 NEVER, and I mean NEVER turn an engine backward like this it can wreak havoc on timing belts, gears, and chains! Dude, you should know better.

Jack and electric cord is good combination You'll create a electric shock

Very stupid design
