Easy Steps to Replace 2005 Acura TSX Transmission Mounts

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

You can check the mounts by using a floor jack. Insert a piece of wood between the floor jack and the engine/transmission, then jack up the engine/transmission and look to see if the rubber in the middle of the mounts is separating. The rubber needs to hold the whole mount together with no separation. There are three transmission mounts and three engine mounts. To check the transmission mounts, lift under the transmission. To check the engine mounts, lift under the engine.

If you use aftermarket mounts you will still deal with vibrations because aftermarket mounts don't perform the same as OEM mounts. I don't recommend aftermarket mounts, but if you want to go that route you can find after market transmission mounts on amazon too.
