DIFFICULT TO INSTALL! Works well enough.

This is a good engine jack. But it is VERY VERY difficult to install on a 97 2.5 liter manual with air conditioning. The driver's side came in like a breeze, well, 35 minute breeze. The passenger side was insanely hard. I had to grind some of the rubber to match the machined surfaces on the inside of the cylinder block mounting yokes. To get the pressure I used plumbing. PIA. The engine then slipped back 1 inch and all of the bolts were misaligned and I had to undo the transfer case fasteners to jack the entire transmission forward with a bottle jack. If you don't have ramps and good jacks, don't try this. Also, I had to remove the alternator on my car because the standard engine mounting bolt would not come loose when the alternator was in place. More PIA It all took a long time! The motor mount feels firmer than stock but transmits more vibration, which is noticeable. I have nothing against vibrations, but many can. I would choose a motor with spacers as in the future.

Pros
  • A special polyurethane compound insulates the engine
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
