This video was unplanned. I ran into a problem while replacing the lower transmission mounts on my 2005 Acura TSX Automatic. I figured I will make a video to help others that may be doing this job or considering doing it.
Socket sizes you need for the job are: 10mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm

Be very careful not to strip bolts or nuts. Here’s what I used to remove the stripped nut:

I purchased OEM Transmission mounts from Delray Acura online because they take Paypal, have good prices, and the website is easy to use. Transmission mounts are in the “Engine Mounts (AT)” section.
https://www.acuraoemparts.com/
The two lower mounts are specified “front right” and “rear right”. The upper mount is called “transmission mounting upper”. You can find them under the Engine Mounts section at DelRay Acura. They are numbers 11, 12, and 13 at this link

I don’t recommend aftermarket mounts, but if you want to go that route you can find after market transmission mounts on amazon too.

My car clicks when shifting to park or reverse. Could it be the transmission mounts?
How did you take the stripped nuts out??
Did this fix engine shaking at idle with ac on I'm having issues with motor shaking when stop at light with ac on
Thanks for this. Yesterday I changed all 3 mounts except transmission mounts. Now I'm having heavy idle vibration when in reverse gear at stand still when AC is on. When AC is off no vibration at idle. The mounts changed arent OEM but they are said to be good aftermarket with great reviews. We will change the transmission mounts and see if vibration minimizes.
what your recommendation Acura original parts or Aftermarket for this job..thank you
I did mine without removing anything and without jacking up the transmission. Its tricky but you can wiggle it from on top the transmission near the resonator box and the subframe. Is tight but doable
Would you recommend changing the front and rear engine mounts first or these.
Thanks! Very helpful! A question, do you need to take the plastic engine shield off from under the car before doing this?
Have you done the one in the front yet?
was there any noise coming from your broken mounts? like over bumps..
is that a v6
Thanks brother you helped me out big time could not find the location of the upper transmission mount Tull I watched your video and your right the manual has no instruction for replacement of any of the mounts. Which blew my mind!!! Thanks again brother.
where did u purchase your mounts
Thanks for the tips and video. Definitely going to help once i replace all them 3 bitches. Hope it wont be too hard like the motor mounts, they was easy.
Oh do you know the tourque specs to the bolts?
Yea it helps thanks
Thanks a lot for the tips. Really helped me save a ton of time and hassle.
Thank you for sharing all these valuable information. I'm definitely doing them one by one I've done the passenger engine mount and will order the engine mounts for the front and rear. I will replace the front myself and might need professional help on the rear mount. Hopefully, you will have time video recording the mounts.
Hi Miguel, can you tell us why you decided to replace your transmission mounts? I do have a 2006 TSX and would like to know what are the symptoms to look for that might result in replacing such. Thank you for posting this video.
