2000 SSEi Front Motor Mount Replacement
Hello all. I bought a 2000 SSEi a few months back, Just had the trans redone. They replaced some solenoids and they told me they front mount is broken.
Looking at some pics and it looks like a fairly easy replacement.
Any tips on for a smooth replacement?
Is a stock mount the best solution or is there a better after market fix?
Thanks for any helpful hints.

Stock will be fine. You will need to support the engine by jacking up from below. Then remove the bolts from the engine/transmission and the sub frame. The trans cooler lines run along there. Might get a little tight working in there. Oh ya, you will have to remove the bottom splash guard.

It'* one nut top and one bottom. The best replacement would be something different than a marshmallow (aka stocker). Many folks use hockey pucks as suitable replacements.
Funny you say this today. Sawgunner is here and his marshmallow is getting replaced tomorrow.

I did mine last weekend and one thing I ran into- I had to remove the bracket bolted to the trans- the one w/ the 3 bolts. I could not get it out, lacked a 1/4" more- other than that- it'* a 5 min job.
Car drove amazingly better too- I really noticed the difference. Engine isn't flopping around anymore- nice feeling.

Bill-A real hockey puck??? I am new to the Bonneville community.
Leonard thanks for the info. It gives me hope I can do the replacement without too much trouble.

Did Sawgunners yesterday.
1 7" bolt 1/2" diameter
3 hockey pucks (1/2" holed drilled in the center of each)
Few washers
2 nuts
That'* all we need to do these mounts. No trimming is necessary, you guys have enough room to park a Yugo in the front of the car.
