- How to tell if a motor mount is bad. How to check loose or bad motor engine mount. Learn the main methods for diagnosing a bad motor mount or bad transmission mount. The first method is to watch the engine as it goes in and out of gear. The next method is to drive the car (when you know it is aligned properly) and see if it pulls.

If your car is vibrating a lot at stop lights and shifting it into neutral causes it to smooth out, that's a good test pointing toward motor mounts. Useful for situations a little more subtle than illustrated here.
Hey my car only vibrates when I’m coming to a full stop, i put it on neutral or reverse and it doesn’t vibrate. The vibration is so loud too. Do you think it’s the motor mounts?
Very helpful comment 💯
Fair warning, I had a car do this (2001 Chevy Malibu) for about 2 months before the head-gasket blew. There are chemical tests at the auto parts store and amazon to test for exhaust gases in the coolant, but if you have extra coolant and a funnel, you can save a few bucks and do the at-home test. Stick your funnel in the reservoir, fill it mostly with coolant, and watch for exhaust gases. Couple of small bubbles could be concerning but more likely indicative of a leak, but if you get a lot of bubbles, it could be serious.
@@junebug346 mine does this. Did you ever figure out what it was ?
@@MJ-nz7fr unfortunately I haven’t figured it out and it still does the vibrating till this day. I honestly stop caring about it lol
Even though this video is 9 years old, I just wanna thank this man for educating me. It was very helpful. Thank you.
As a preventative measure, I always change all engine and transmission mounts when one goes bad. They usually all have wear on them and fail in short succession of each other.
Great advice
Yeah your supposed to replace everything in pairs otherwise you'll be doing the same job again sooner or later 😂😂 have learnt that with cars.
interesting use of the word "left"
xCondemnedIV Thanks?
xCondemnedIV yeah just noticed that 😂
It was the so called "other" left I think he was referring to.
@@chrisfix you where going right lol
He seems like an intelligent guy, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that he recorded the sound live, and didn’t realize it was displaying the mirror image. Interestingly enough, I find the commenter’s use of the word “interesting”, quite humorous. Initially, I thought it was a political reference, given all that’s going on today in 2020.
One of the first things I do is replace mounts on second hand cars quite often regardless if the car has done over 50 k - makes a world of difference and often neglected. Good video.
+Mr2pint Thanks and thanks for sharing!
Can worn mounts cause thumping noise during hard braking or take off ?
@@abrahamreyes3340 I was gonna ask the same thing. My equinox thumps when a stop or accelerate. More noticeable when on and incline.
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 I changed rotors on mine cause I thought that was the issue but I can still hear the thump
Hey Chris. You make all your repairs look so simple you really encourage me to go out and do some repairs on my 1996 Ford Contour myself. Like this video on diagnosing and changing motor mounts. I now know what my issue is. I am still not brave enough to do it on my own yet. But I am getting there. Thank you and God Bless
Stephen Lopez Jr Awesome Stephen! That is what I like to hear. The first step it to learn how to diagnose the problem! I wouldnt do a motor mount if you are a beginner but I have plenty of other videos where you can learn how to change brakes or suspension parts, which is perfect for a beginner!
Holly shit man, you just saved my car! This is what I've been experiencing for a year now, and brought it to two mechanics basically telling me the car was built that way on the factory line; had no clue. I've been driving around with motor mounts that are probably over forty years old, never thought to look.
Thanks man, I have been having a clanking sound when I accelerate and change gears and i went under my car and the transmission mount was missing a bolt, so I replaced it and there is no more clunk.
Thank you for sharing that A BAD MOUNT CAN AFFECT STEERING. I think that might be my issue because I noticed the car slightly veering to the right after the last couple alignments. I couldn't figure out why it was doing that after driving away from the shop each time. Never heard this from anyone else, including any mechanics. All the extra tidbits of information is sooooo handy so thank you! Keep up the awesome work!
I've spent over seven Grand on my car fixing it over the course of many years watching just your videos and it has been so satisfying to learn everything that I have and to be able to do everything by myself now with that being said I'm literally on my way to go get motor mounts at the moment
I'm glad you've been fixing the cars yourself with the help of the videos! Let me know how the motor mount replacement goes!
Got the mounts on and it was relatively a smooth process. Next issue is to tackle the strange clicking noise coming from the top of my motor. Lite and fast like a small internal part
@@whoami7566 uh oh, that doesn't sound good! Also I love how chrisfix still looks at old videos and responds to comments.
I've also fixed multiple issues with my car and saved tons of $$ thanks to ChrisFix. Absolute legend.
Hi I'm from London UK and my automatic car is in the garage. I took it in to replace the break pads and discs and they rang me to tell me to replace the engine mounts too. I thought they were trying to rip me off and get extra money until I watched your video and realised that I have been suffering with bad enging mounts because of your excellent description. thank you.
I just replaced the transmission mount on my car that was pulling to the right when accelerating. Now the problem is fixed. Thank you for uploading so helpful videos like this one.
How do you know u needed a new one?
Damn you literally have a video for everything lmao

This is the first video that ChrisFix actually sounds exited when he starts a video
A few days ago I heard a clunk sound when my car(Toyota Aurion 2007 150.000km ODO) switched from reverse gear to driving gear. It feels great now to know what to fix. It's really helpful video. Thank you SOOOOO much Chris. Cheers!
I'm glad you were able to diagnose the exact issue! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful!!! Most fix it videos only show the repair but hearing the noises and seeing the before and after results REALLY helps! Thank you so much!
I have a 1989 Chevy Van G20 series that's 5.7L with a V8 and I just had two of my engine mounts replaced and it just dulled the noise a bit and still having that turning even with a realignment solidified it along with the jolting with loud pop when shifting into reverse and drive. Got the low rumbles and vibrating [no more heavy thudding once two of the engine mounts got replaced] at 45-55 and just today after replacing the passenger engine mount and fuel filter, after taking a turn and starting to accelerate, she popped and jolted a bit once I hit 20mph and acceleration stopped with the noise but after that quick noise and no acceleration with my foot still holding the pedal in the same place, she started to again, hit 30mph 5-6 feet after and she did it again before continuing to drive up to 45 and hitting a low rumble that stuttered slowly and at intervals when I slowed back to 35 and kept that speed. Thank you so much man!
This is the first car I've really seriously started taking care of and maintenancing. My other and first car was a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis Edition that was 4x4 with a V8 and I think 5L. Easy to work on, mostly did very small things but I was two years younger and very dumb with listening to others foolishness and ran it into the dirt. Results of no maintenance was blown head gaskets. What could have prevented that was me changing out a broken heater core
On my Chevy I've now personally replaced both tie rods, brakes, all four wheels, almost perfected the alignment myself [was told that when I went to get an alignment yesterday and it took them 10 minutes after they got her in and lifted]. Shops did the engine mounts, balance, proper realignment, oil change and filter and fuel filter. Hate changing out filters and flushing/draining systems. For some damn reason it's always old and wants to spray me in the face. I've changed two fuel filters in my life and got doused with gasoline because of one of them being 10 years old [the jeep] and one being 7 years old [ex fiances 94 silhouette oldsmobile]
Thanks a lot!
Man so nice to see this old vid of yours and notice how much you´ve evolved! Nice job... I love your videos.
Thanks a lot
So here where intro finally evolved from depressed Chrisfix intro into a happy Chrisfix intro.
Thanks so much for this. i just got my car diagnosed and i was wondering how the issue i was having related to replacement of engine and transmission mounts. now i totally get it and the auto shop is right on point. makes me feel a lot better about a $900 repair...i guess. :(
Man, this is a great video! I just got a car (used) and when driving, I used to feel that weird shaking movement. First they told me those were caused by oil entering to the spark plugs... But then they said they were fine, it was just the motor and transmission mounts. Your video explains all. Great content!
I wish you do one like this with a Honda Accord 08-12 have 5 motor mounts please thanks
This is exactly what’s going on with car! Thank you so much for such an awesome vid, short but straight to the point and super informative!
That's exactly what's wrong with my car. You helped me finally figure that out. Now I'll sound a little knowledgeable when I'm speaking with the mechanic. Thanks!
gagurl3 Awesome! That is the goal for my videos! Glad the video was helpful! Definitely consider subscribing! New automotive "how to" videos every Thursday and most Mondays!
I shared with my dad today that my car (95 Chevy Corsica) is doing a lot of the things you show in the video and this is exactly what his diagnosis of my car is (bad engine mounts). This ford van IMO I think had it to a much worse degree than my car has it, but I don't want to wait until catastrophe happens to replace them obviously. My car has 234,400+ miles on it and has lived most of its 20 year life with a relative, being driven on beat up hilly gravel roads out in the countryside. So obviously it has had its share of wear and tear as a car. I haven't had a lot of the whole "it is trying to steer itself out of line" as a symptom. But most of my symptoms show up when I am leaving work, basically backing out of the side parking lot going up a hill (I park facing down a hill). Dad said that it shows up more then because the weight is shifted more forward at that point. Most noticeable for me is the clunking it makes when shifting into reverse and drive.
Good diagnosis on bad motor mount.
I have these symptoms and a mechanic told me they were bad but that i'd be okay because they're in a metal casing but now its time to fix them. I have a 99 acura tl. Thank you so much for making this video! I'm going to have my uncle look to see which one(s) are bad and replace them.
+Caitlin Williams Awesome Caitlin! Glad the video was helpful!
Your video was super helpful, I was concerned that my 2014 Impala has broken mounts after seeing how much the engine moves under load, but I don’t experience odd vibrations, and no clunking when I shift into drive or reverse. Seeing your B&A video on a 3.8L v6, my impala is a 3.6L, and how much movement there is even after replacing the mounts, gives me confidence that mine aren’t bad. I had concerned because the movement mine has may have contributed to my air filter outlet duct failing leading to a P0171 code (system too lean). I patched the duct and cleared the code, but a few weeks later my patch failed. I patched it again and that’s when I noticed how much the engine moves when in gear. Your video gives me hope that I may not have the problem that I think I have. I won’t know until I get it up on jacks and do a closer inspection.
Thank you very much. Great explanation. I will be replacing mine in few days .
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the sounds and the troubleshooting details
No problem! Thanks for the comment!
Man you’re lucky it took me and my dad 6 hours to get one motor mount out
Aww😭😭😭
Better hire a professional
God bless your soul!!!
i jst bought a car. It got the alignment done but Ive noticed the steering wheel still moving as I accelerate after a complete stop. So now I have the check engine light on. Good thing I still have warranty on that car
WOW....you are awesome. Just used simple English to explain what to look for and in your other video how to replace bad motor mount. Have been trying for 7 months to get proper diagnosis..... and for sure this indeed was the problem. many thx!
As always...... I learned something new by watching your videos. I figured that was my issue with my truck, but this video helped me be 100% positive that was my issue. Thanks once again Chris! You the man! :-)
As usual Chris, you provide us with good helpful clear instruction that gives us confidence to take on tasks we wouldn't have done before. I do think it funny though, that in your video driving down the street you show the car pulling to the right twice when you accelerate but in both cases you said it was to the left. Ha ha. Anyway keep up the great work you do and keep them coming.
10 years later and still useful thank you!
Good, clear and useful video. I'm having all 3 mounts replaced right now at the time of this comment. I was experiencing the exact mentioned symptoms.
Did that fix the shaking ?
@@kevinpacheco2564 Yes. However, I had to force the replacement issue 'a little bit' to my satisfaction.
Wasn't that right where your car was steering by itself? you said left...
yep it steers right lol
He meant the other left.
HI what about vibrations when it on drive no clunks nothing, can it be mounts too?
Dragking40 maybe balence on your tires, struts shocks what ever is reliated to the wheels. I been there.
I have watched so many of your videos. Thanks. I don't work on my own car much anymore, but I have cleaned the map sensor, throttle body, easy, do it in the driveway things. Good to see it done correctly, before I try it!
Chris Fix you have helped me beyond belief in your shared knowledge of automobiles. I live in No.California and I must say after watching your videos I am now comfortable dealing with issues regarding my car. Can you share how to buy quality replacement parts , how to tell if the are adequate for actually replacing the original. Thanks Chris. JoAnn
Great job, you helped me to confirm that mine are OK. Much appreciated!
Agellius Awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
Can this cause a delay in gear shifting or a hard shifting when accelerating?
Did u ever find out
Ciscoo 1013 noo . I think it’s just a bad transmission
@@ebunohachukkie7276 i have the same issue, brand new trans so im assuming mount
Over the last week all of this just starting to happen. Great heads up. Thanks.
You have given me a sigh of relief because my car did that exact same thing today. Thanks!
What about in a manual transmission
Mac MashPotato when you start moving the car the engine could shake or when you're flooring it the car can have 3-5 hiccups then it launches
So would it be a bad motor mount? Or a transmission mount?
@@nick.v1246 you usually want to replace both at the same time, most come in a pack together
My car noticable jerks when shifting from Park into R or D, that means I have bad mounts right? Not a bad engine/transmission?
Kartik Mankad thank god i had the same problem and it was the mount
Update on this having same issue
Oh my gosh! I think I just figured out 4 problems to my s10 when shifting from park to drive and reverse to drive it clunks and hits hard. the slight mis fire I have sometimes along with a rough idle and after getting a alignment why the wheel still turns! Than k you so much! you're a smart man Chris!!
+Courage The .Cowardly Dog No problem! Good luck!
Hey so I just did motor mounts on my 98 Audi A4 with a manual, and seeing so many people (including myself) wanting help with symptoms of a bad mount on a manual transmission, wanted to give a good idea of what to look for in a bad mount in a manual with things that disappeared from my car after the fix.
1: Same thing with automatics, pop the hood and give the engine some revs when parked to see how much the engine moves. A little movement is okay but shouldn't be enough to move the whole car a bit. This can also be used when trying to isolate between the engine mounts and transmission mounts when you have other symptoms.
2: Gears seem to be hard to find, especially when shifting at high revs. This can be very obvious if you're going from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd at a high RPM, like you're trying to put it into gear but it doesn't feel like it's fully engaged.
3: In 1st or 2nd gear at low RPMs, your car shakes excessively when slowly engaging the accelerator at low RPM. Manuals tend to do this naturally at low speeds, like parking lots, but it shouldn't feel like being in a boat when you slowly press the accelerator. If your car has a small shake or two when letting off the gas or slowly applying it, your mounts should be fine. Otherwise, you might want to inspect them.
Me: Those Mounts In The Engine In My Dream Car Need To Be Fixed! How To Do This?
Chris: Hey Guys ChrisFix Here!
I just visually inspected my '91 Rover motor mounts...shot as hell, hope I can get parts.
Darn! I'm sure you'll be able to find some!
I went to car max 2 times and they told me they couldn’t find out why my mustang was doing this and a 4 minute TH-cam video did it wow😂
@GidgetPeyton I lived in Georgia and a friend told me about a mechanic shop in downtown Decatur named Rita's Auto Repair, "Mechanics a woman could trust" was on their biz cards and sign,
it was family owned by Rita & her husband, he and their 2 sons were the mechanics. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!! Any car I brought to them they fixed it, didn't overcharge me and kept me on the road. They were the most honest people I've ever met. Unfortunately they moved out of state to take care of some family members I was heart 💔 broken. I've never found anyone else like them 😢 and I've been burnt by other mechanics even recently. I need motor mounts and I'm in California now with no where to turn, if I had the tools I would watch a few videos and do it myself I'm not afraid to break a nail. 🙃
Hey Sharon, If you buy the the tools to do the job you'll still save tons of money and have the tools for the next job. Harbor freight jack to brace up the engine is only $80 and socket set probably $30 ish. Chrisfix has saved me soooooo much money.
I have my honda crv 2012, in parking mode whenever i shift my gear to R from P there i can here sound in gear, also when i m driving initially when i put my foot on accelerator softly there is vibration, but as soon as i remove my foot from accelerator or accelerate more that vibration goes, but also if i keep accelerating smoothly in same way vibration keep staying? Any solution for this? It is automatic transmission
I am really surprised that engine moves so much even with new mounts... My Engine is small and with manual, does not move at all.
Me, too. There doesn't seem to be much difference, and I've never seen any engine in any car I own shake like that. Mine might be now, however, and need the mounts replaced.
Thanks. Good summary. Loads of information in a short time. Unbelievable how much I have learnt.
Thanks chris fix it for the information. That help me with my car you are great!!!
Hey Chris. Thanks for all your great videos, I've learned a a ton from you and your tips are always handy! I have a slight problem with my engine. It's a 2006 Mercedes SLK 280 which are notorious for having a failing balance shaft sprocket but that part is already replaced but the engine still shakes on startup and Aldo when I pit it in drive and hold my foot on the brakes. It also had a slight shake before the balance shaft was replaced but it got worse after the replacement. Do you think that this could be due to worn out engine and transmission mounts? The whole engine was pulled for the balance shaft replacement so maybe the mounts now totally gave up on functioning properly? I would like to know what you think of it. Thanks for your time and answer and keep up the good work!

wtf is happening here
Great video. I've suspected my motor mounts to be bad after watching a few other videos but after seeing this I'm nearly certain that's the problem. I'll have someone rev the engine while I look at the engine in a bit. I've had a vibration in the car that's gradually gotten worse over the past year. I just took my 2000 Ford Focus wagon in just a few weeks ago because the car drifts toward the side of the road. He said it was "radial drift" because one of the front tires is slightly larger than the other.(Though they're the same size) Now I'm not so sure! On a 20 minute drive yesterday the car's transaxle/cooling system warning light came on for a split second when I let off the gas coming to a red light. At that moment the car seemed to "lose power" (for lack of a better description) and I thought it would stall so I pulled off. After driving around a parking lot a minute, I got back on the road and made it home. I'll be in the shop first thing in the morning getting it checked.
i had no idea bad motor mounts can cause a car to wander...learned something new
20 years?? gosh LOL
Irving G The original shocks lasted 300k miles. Crazy right?!?! I got a super van or something lol
jajajajajajaja i manufacture those... i can´t believe international countries think they last soooo long... good luck with an asian motor mount lasting that long...
super van lmaoo xD
+Bri Graham, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason but watch the video and see if the engine shakes when you go in and out of gear or start it up. It will shake just a little normally but it shouldn't shake a lot. Let me know what you find. It could also be shaking because it is idling poorly with a possible misfire. Do you have any check engine lights?
Interesting. Gotta check my shit out. Pretty sure it's bad bad noises when shifting from park to reverse and such. But regular driving shifts perfectly.
My 2002 suburban does the same. I think it must be the mounts.
@@kevinmontgomerymusic 11 months later it turns out the transmission was low on fluid causing these hard shift engagements. I got all mounts replaced so that was not it.
you should check yours. as long as your fluid isn't burned and the clutch/gears are good you'll be fine.
Wow even with the new mounts that is a heck of a lot of movement.
Great videos. Don't stop bringing them
Check your ABS sensors or tone ring(may have expanded from rust.
) That ABS would annoy the heck out of me. Use black electrical tape to cover it.
What's your OBD2 say about your CEL?
I found this site to be very informative. The Pic-in-Pic views are VERY helpful. Thanks for the fine work.

Excellent video. Going to visually check it out when I get home. I have about 123k on my Gmc Envoy. And it only vibrates when idle while in drive or when I I first accelerate
Thank you for this videos I got the same problem and I find why
I'm glad the video helped!
You are the best Chris!
You sir are a hero. Thank you!
great video. i thank you for helping me keep my cars running . my question is could you elaborate more about the way the car performs when these mounts are bad. when press the ggas the car goes but is hesitate then it kicks in. highway driving is fine once it gets going. the trans fluid was fine. thanks again.
Glad the videos are helpful! That is a good idea. In this case the motor mount has nothing to do with how it runs. That sounds like a distributor problem.
I have a 2011 Ford Taurus limited and if does this . Sometimes it clunks when I switch gears and press on the gas to move . And it kinda rock when I put it into park
This video was perfect for diagnosing the same issue I had in my 2004 Honda Accord. Thank you
Would this cause grinding in a manual transmission aswell?
You are the man thank you for the advice I didn't know
great video, one of the most overlooked thing in car, mounts all around the car which old engine and transmission.
toy96 Thanks! Definitely something that is overlooked because most people dont even know they exist.
Awesome thank you my wife’s Sienna engine doing the same thing
Thanx for the video Chris. I had an accident about a week ago when a pole jumped in front of me LOL and my truck immediately stared to vibrate alot and my steering is off. I got it aligned a few months back when I replaced my upper arms and lower ball joints and now that I saw your video I have no doubt that it might be the mounts. I was going to replace them tomorrow anyway hoping that was going to be the problem but now that I watched your video I'm certain that's what it is, at least that's what I'm hoping. Again thanx for the video. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year bro.
I have a v6 front wheel drive Mitsubishi 380 (Australia) in the US they call them a Gallant.
They have one main engine mount, one main transmission mount & two smaller engine roll mounts that sit front & rear of the engine in about the about center of the motor.
Now, when the small front or rear roll mount on the engine center cross-member breaks the transmission feels like its slipping in drive. When I put in the new mount it drives great again. Funny thing is that there is not much difference in engine movement with a new or broken mount, and not enough to stop it from driving you would think. But No, she wont go anywhere until you replace the offending roll mount. Its a crazy car at times.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Yu are Worlds No 1 Top Explainer be continue TH-cam. Lots of Happy and enjoying ......
How are mounts supposed to cost? I don't wanna get ripped off by the mechanics at the workshop. Thanks! Love the videos, keep 'em posting!
Oh, forgot to tell you. I'm driving a Daihatsu Charade Aura, 4 doors. The wheels and dashboard vibrate like crazy for years already.
Bien Crafts I am from the USA so I cannot give you a price. I would search ebay or amazon for your motor mounts and see how much they cost. I would figure about an hour of labor for each mount.
Very informative and to the point. I am concerned that Chris is driving below a half a tank of gas in the winter. Just sayin.
There is a gas station every mile where I live.
I just say thank you so much for the tutorial that help somebody like me who want to learn.Thank you so much and may God bless you.
Glad the video was helpful!
First video saying hey guys chris fix here hyped
Helpful video, I have a Ford Escape that makes a clunk in low speed creeping on bumper to bumper traffic, mounts have been replaced but maybe they did not replace all three and one of them is bad now or it might be the transmission, I only have 80K miles on it, hoping for a few more years out of it.
thanks for sharing
One of the engine mounts on my 2005 Saturn Relay minivan is pretty shot, and I don't get engine knocking or shaking like in the video, its only symptom is extremely strong engine vibration when idling at ~600-900 rpm. I'm not fixing it because of the cost (just driving the car into the ground at this point) but to prolong the life I put it in neutral when at stop lights which seems to cut down the vibration a huge amount
You answer what I wanna know about acceleration and steering tilting 👌 thank buddy
Chris I'm at the shop at this present time, I had several issues; both of my wheel bearing needs to be replaced, all of my mounts are bad (I'm only having one repaired the main one) and my radiator need to be replaced. It's costing me a fortune but I'm left without a choice. Thanks. 😈😈😈😈😈
