My '01 Civic EX Coupe, 5sp M/T needs the front motor mount (stopper) replaced. The clutch slave cylinder is mounted to the engine above the motor mount.

To anyone who has replaced this motor mount on a 7th gen Civic EX manual trans, my question is: is there enough room so that this motor mount be changed without removing the clutch slave cylinder ?

 

Just unbolt the cylinder and line mounts to get them out of the way. Don't disconnect any hydraulic connections. As long as no one presses the clutch pedal while it is off, it will be OK to put it right back on without needing to bleed or anything. (Pressing the pedal while it is off will cause the piston to pop out and likely damage it).

 

Thanks for your reply.

I intended to insall it this morning, but when I removed the mounting bolt that runs though the center of the mount to secure it to the chassis bracked and checked the filt of the bolt though the new aftermarket part, I found that the aftermarket part mountin hole was much larger than the bolt diameter. Unless there is a rather large bushing that goes over the bolt, the new aftermarket part seems like it's not going to work.
