Prothane motor mount in Galant VR4

[gvr4me]

I bought these motor mount inserts and install them in my motor mounts. Then I dropped the engine in the engine bay. When I tried to install them in with my engine, only the transmission, driver side, and rear mounts would bolt on. The front mount is off by half of an inch. Did I install the back mount correctly? I will include some pictures to show you what I mean. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure that front mount bracket is gvr4 spec? If it is from a tel this would be the problem. I can't remember what the number is supposed to be on the gvr4 mount but I will check some time today.

I have the same mounts and they went right in with no trouble at all.

The car had TEL motor swap but I would think that they used the same mount brackets. Everyone said they had no problems putting the motor in so I don't know /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif. Maybe someone can just check the numbers on the brackets for me. I can also take pictures of the other 2 brackets to make sure I didn't screw up putting them in. If the numbers are correct, then I really don't have clue. Maybe I'll just run 3 motor mounts.

You have the wrong front mount bracket on the engine. The galant vr4 specific mount # is 344.

Hmm... I wonder why it bolt up when I first got the car..... I guess I can order a new bracket.

Is the rear bracket number correct?

 

[strokin4dr]

I will have to go check. Not sure on that one off the top of my head. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes, your rear bracket is correct. Change the front bracket to a 344 and you will be fine. Do you have the correct bracket already? If not, check the for sale section for a part out. They are NLA from the dealer.

 

what number should be on the rear bracket?

front bracket worked before because of stock motor mounts. I've seen this happen, basically your drivetrain was twisted a little bit. the prothane mounts make it impossible to put the TEL mount back on.

Good luck getting the GVR4/GGSX mount cheap though. I had to shell out like $50 for mine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

195B but i've heard of others working.

 

[strokin4dr]

^^I think that is correct. Mine says 195 of the top of it and so does yours in the pic.

FYI: 195 A and B are the same mount, it's A on one side and B on the other.

Thanks for the help guys, I got a mount bracket from a guy locally for $15 and it went in just fine.
