@ adolfo, I did notice a noise coming from the active rear mount a couple
days later. I put the front end on blocks and had my wife put the van into
gear while I reached up and unplugged the electrical wires into the mount,
and found the mount itself is making a humming noise! I have yet to find
anyone in the online forums that talks about this issue, in frustration I
plugged the old mount into the electrical cable and it was making the same
noise. So I’m thinking something in the computer might need to get reset
after changing the mounts. Once I confirm my suspicions i’ll update this
video.

Great video, thank you!
I was replacing the front and side mount and was good until I tried to get
the front mount out of the vehicle. I found your video and it showed I had
to remove the battery tray. I did and it came right out.
I will mention that it was not necessary to remove the airbox for the front
mount. Maybe it’s needed for one of the other mounts?
I completed the two mounts for $80ish! DEA brand from RockAuto.

Jamnajar Question…I have a 2005 Odyssey Touring. Was told by
Honda dealership that the rear engine mount is hydraulic and is leaking.
Does my Odyssey actually have a hydraulic rear mount? Or was that
dealership BS? Was also told that it would cost about $800 to change. Can
anyone help with info ???

Thanks again for the great video. A friend who is a professional mechanic
replaced these with some minimal assistance from myself at his shop with a
lift and good air tools with a mind boggling array of extensions in about
three hours. This was his first time doing this particular repair. My car
is a 2006 EX-L with 225k miles.

My symptoms were low frequency vibration at idle, and on downshifting to a
stop as well as low frequency vibration in ECO mode.

I opted to try the DEA mounts at $100 and $140 over the Honda mounts that I
could not find for less than $500 each.

When we replaced them, the rear mount was clearly in sad shape. The rest
were not visibly bad.

All the bothersome vibrations have resolved and the car is a dream to drive
now. Time will tell if the DEA mounts hold up, but I am very satisfied
with the results of the repair.

Amazing video – Thanks!
I’ve looked at Honda’s TSB for this problem –
http://www.urvi.net/forumfiles/SB/A06-083.PDF
It looks like they may fix the rear mount for free. I’m going to check
with my Honda dealer. The TSB says to use new hardware and it looks like
you used new parts; where did you get them in case I have to do the work
myself?

Thanks for taking the time to share this and make many folks life easier.

OK, i’m tackling this project on the weekend, just a quick question, i’m
thinking of picking up an impact driver, will 18-Volt One+ Impact Driver
work? i figure since i already have the One+ batteries just get the same
brand – i guess a better question would be; whats the RPM on the one you
guys are using? thanks in advance!

Great video. i have a 2003 odyssey. my last mount is the rear mount. it
looks significantly different than the 2006. it actually looks smaller and
thinner.
Do you know if this mount in the 2003 can be removed without touching the
Y pipe just like in your video?

enelnelson says:

Fabulous video. Thanks for doing this.

Are the DEA mounts still holding in there?

Mike Wu says:

HI, my mechanic is telling me that the OEM Honda parts for the rear mount
is $800. I noticed you use aftermarket parts. How are those performing for
you since you installed them?

Deiber Cano says:

the front mount is that the only way to take it out can you do it from

Best engine mounts replacement video on YouTube. I own a 2005 Kia Sedona EX
and have been looking for drawings, mount location information and watching
one mount change video after another. Anything that has to do with Kia
vehicles is pretty sparse, but, with you guys repairing a mini van and
actually doing all 5 mounts is a first. I especially appreciate the way you
showed how these parts are oriented to other components before you
reinstalled them. Great video. Thanks, Tom

Out-effing-standing video on the motor mounts. BTW, the way to check the
rear mount is to check clearance between the engine bracket and the front
rubberized lip of the mount. Here’s a brief vid that shows the clearance
on a good one. It’s like a quarter of an inch or so. If the mount is bad,
it will rest on the lip there in the front, and you may see some bulging on
the back top of the mount rubber. 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L Rear Motor Mount

Thanks for a great video. I was curious though–how long did it take you
to replace all five mounts? Thanks for the help!

Bob H. says:

This is on my to-do list soon for our ’05 Odyssey Touring. MANY thanks for
posting this fantastic video!

Radd40ify says:

Hi, thanks for the video. ..it was a great help…I just replaced all my
mounts on an 05 odyssey, I used aftermarket mounts from Autozone. …They
come with a lifetime warranty. Just want to point out that if anyone orders
the mounts from Autozone make sure to order the V-Tech transmission mounts
not i-V Tech, they list a different transmission mount for the i-V Tech but
it is wrong, both V-Tech and i -V Tech have the same tranny mounts…..The
van runs nice now, no vibrations but I do have that humming sound not bad
though, I can really only hear it when the van is idling. Have you figured
out the reason or fix for it? Thx Rob

peaceonthis265 says:

Thanks for your repair video! I have little time to reinvent the wheel. You
made my job easier.

Brandi Chavez says:

The video was a great help. I found that both transmission mounts were
Broken or missing bolts and the passenger side mount has also broken.
After replacing all 5 mounts the van does run smoother, BUT the warbling/
or shaking in the transmission still happens between 40-65 MPH. I have read
some online that several years of Van EX-L and touring models ranging from
2005 to 2014 have the shaking issue right off the show room floor.
Including a 2014 Odyssey. 

wilbert sison says:

Thank you for the reply, was there a significant change in feel with the
van after all mounts have been replaced?…. I have a very annoying
vibration feel on steering during cruising and when eco kicks in, I also
hear a loud clunk when shifting from park to drive. Thanks again.

Jim Coyle says:

Great Job on the Honda Video !! . Thank You!.. What Video Camera did you
use to get such clear video? GoPro?

Mod MINI says:

You have the same laser pointer and Ridgid impact driver as me! I have to
do this on a 2007 Acura MDX soon. I think the procedure will be pretty
similar. 

wilbert sison says:

How are the DEA mounts holding up? I am very hesitant to buy OEM due to the
price. Did it solve vibration issues? Looks like it has been 4 months since
you had them installed. A feedback would be appreciated. Good video by the
way.

Lionel Graham says:

Hello, how did you know your engine mount was bad? My 2005 odyssey makes a
knocking sound anytime I hit a pothole or on bumpy roads but on highway it
rides super smooth. Brought it over to honda (I’m in Germany) for them to
check out what’s wrong and hinted that I think it’s the motor mount. After
a few days they are not sure what the problem is. What did you experience
and in what conditions for you to know it was the mounts? I also noticed
your link did not include an active mount. I have an EXL, can nonactive
mounts be used instead? Thanks 

Dave Keller says:

How do the DEA motor mounts compare to the Honda OEM? I need to replace
mine and figured they are worth a shot, assuming the 2 main ones are
hydraulic. Also, I notice the DEA site has different part numbers for a
couple of the mounts than listed here: A4558 instead of A6582, and A4557
instead of A4559. Both are listed as I-VTEC compared to VTEC. Anyway, nice
video, thanks!

Brett Carter says:

Thanks! I’m going to tackle this in a few weeks. Did you buy Honda mounts
or did you go aftermarket?
