Hello Fellas,
I pretty much replaced the Transmission Mount on my accord 2000 manual trans myself and was planning to write a DIY but ran into 2 problems:
1) Redlinemotive.com...they send a mount that didnt have the spacing between the screws right (compared to the orgi about an inch too close)...:thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdowtook an hour of "WTF's" and "what did i do wrong?" anxiety before realizing this...
2) I cant find a way to screw left bolt back in [ref: image] (theres no space unless i remove the suction/receiver line "evaporator at the engine side of the firewall"...which i'd dont want to...cuz haynes says its an ac component that needs a pro to do it...
basically, ratchet wont fit due to mount bracket (the order as per my experience/understanding is putting the mount bracket first cuz the mount gets in the way)...
tried the open 17mm wrench but in less than a quarter turn, the suction/receiver lines get in the way....
HELP!!! i'll get right into a detailed DIY if i get this right cuz there seems to be none around the net...
