16.08.2005: New vs old
The old mount is cracked. Its bracket it so thin I can bend it with my bare hands. You can see how much stronger the sport mount is. It has a thick metal frame that doesn't allow any flex.

Engine mount replacement on the 1996 Saab 900. The old mounts were severily worn and broken, which caused excessive engine movement and shifting difficulty at high boost. To firm things up further, the transmission mount has been upgraded with a sport polyurethane mount from Taliaferro.

Tools:

  • 17 mm socket (rear mount);
  • 16 mm socket (rear and transmission mounts);
  • 15 mm socket (side mounts);
  • 13 mm socket (gearshift linkage);
  • 10 mm socket (throttle body inlet, plastic shields);
  • 8 mm socket (plastic shields);
  • 8 mm Allen socket (passenger side mount);
  • two L-shaped 3 mm Allen keys;
  • long socket extension;
  • ratchet handle;
  • torque wrench;
  • flat screwdriver (throttle body clamps);
  • hydraulic jacks and stands.
