I don't understand why people cant comprehend the simple fact that their local toyota dealer can get them every nut, bolt and replacement part for the car.
And yes, this is the wrong thread for this.

I fully comprehend that, they also charge 3-4 times as much as an aftermarket dealer (like ARP if they carried them).

nuts and bolts don't cost very much from the toyota dealer. they most likely use the same part number bolt on a bunch of their cars, thus keeping the cost low. sure, $1-3 is a bit much for a single bolt, but is it really worth the hassle trying to find one $.50 cheaper?

Damn, this is exactly what I need for my car! The shifting is weird at 1st and 2nd gear, and the whole car is "wobbling" at those gears. It is also very hard to get a "smooth" shift.

Will these do the job?

you could have a bad motor mount, if so, I'd get a new motor mount(s) in combination with these, don't use them as a band-aid. you'll have to get under the car and look to see if any are bad to know for sure though.

Back from the dead indeed! Buy them! They are a pain to put in, I am not going to lie, but soooooooo much more worth it. Thought my clutch was slipping, installed them, feels like a new car again!


Sorry, thought this thread was dead.

I don't know if this will actually solve my problem... i hear a thugging sound everytime I accelerate and decelerate and it only happens when I have driven for at least an hour straight. I don't hear it in the morning when I go to work and I don't hear it in the afternoon when I leave work. It only happens after an hour of driving or so. Can somebody please verify it the poly mounts would help me?

I have a stupid question. Simple stuff usually goes over my head. I'm swapping in a 3rd gen 3S-GTE with an MR2 non-LSD E153 and I'm going to buy ST205 mounts and brackets. I have to get the Celica GT inserts, correct?

It seems every car is different. Some experience a lot of vibrations like you have and with others it is minimal. Most of this goes away after the inserts have settled.

One thing you can do that seems to help is cut the insert to where the end is domed shape. In the picture below I just smoothed the insert out on a belt sander to make it dome shaped. This keeps the contact surface area between the insert and the motor mount bracket to a minimal. Just don't cut down any of the area around the hold as it needs to be somewhat flush with the center ring of the mount to keep the insert seated in the mount.

hey kirk, my mechanic said the same tha the motor mounts were too thick...extended out more and touching the metal brackets thus causing the engine to rattle vigorously. He took them off and the rattle disappear, but suggest me to buy a new one since it has begun to crack the rubber. Is there any way i can trade u for a dome set? I don't have the time and money or tools to do it and really want these mounts to fit in the front mounts without the loud noise and rattle. Can i trade u for a set of dome shaved front mounts? The rear is good...it is just the front.

The vibration does lessen once you break them in.

I didn't make anymore of the domed inserts but I guess if you send yours back to me I can grind them down like I did the insert pictured above.

Sorry, I'm not on this board that often.
If you ordered inserts for the Gen6 (94-99) I'm currently out of stock but should get them within the next 2 days.
Sorry for the delay.

They settle in after a while, but you will get more vibration than the stock mounts.
One good idea is to only install the front insert and see how you like it. It should help minimize the vibration and keep the engine from rocking as much as the stock mounts.
