    Default Mazda 6 MPS - SURE Motorsports Rear Engine Mount

    Just installed the rear engine mount today which I received probably a month ago from SURE Motorsports.

    ALOT of swearing, its a bloody tight fit.

    I ended up getting it done, was damn happy.

    Both bolts are torqued at 65 ft lb.

    The car has NO vibrations???

    2nd gear WOT then release still feels the same as when I had the OEM rear engine mount, it would feel like the engine drops and makes a loud CLUNK.

    Am I meant to torque it tighter or anything? Mark from SURE Motorsports told me that 50-60 ft lb is fine.

    But what is going on... I have no vibes and the engine is still moving

    Well done!

    Bonus?

    Both bolts are torqued at 65 ft lb.
    My mechanic suggested 60-65 ft lb.

    I'll have an answer as soon as I get mine installed. Stay tuned, hopefully someone can answer it before me though.

    Yes it would be a bonus if there were no vibrations but I feel no difference in the car after the install. It feels the same... maybe there's something wrong since there is MEANT TO BE some vibrations...?

    Putting vibrations aside, what about the other supposed effects such as shifting?

    Is there an improvement in that respect? More downforce to the wheels etc. Or is it just a stock feel like you say?

    Just feels stock... going to torque the bolts harder tomorrow morning and see if any differences will come up.

    Seems strange, instant improvement with my Cp-e one... No engine 'hop' under hard accelerating/gear changes and would previously struggle to change from 2nd to 3rd... All better with new mount.
    Vibrations at very low speeds, reversing but nothing too major.

    Weird how you ain't felt a change, good luck finding the solution.

    I have the same prob but mine is not as bad. The sure rem was better then my stock mount because if you see my stock mount most of the rubber was sliced but under hard acceleration and let it go without putting the clutch in I get like an engine drop noise. I think the noise is coming from the engine bracket if you look closely at the pic I'm gonna post now you will see the rubber im talking about when I was changing my REM I had noticed that the rubber was chewed away also, I've been meaning to change mine but I've just been busy with work I'm going to ring up mazda and get a price on em
    I dont know if this worked but I'll upload it a different way tapatalk has two ways up uploads

    Is it possible one of your other engine mounts has failed? I was looking through the service history on my car and one of the other mounts was changed at 30,000km (I think the driver's side). I believe this may be a known issue at least in the 6, and may account for the engine movement.

    Also, Cullen from SURE told me 65 ft lbs for tightening

    Is there any chance the one you already had was an aftermarket one? Could explain why you haven't noticed any difference maybe? I know the cp-e version doesn't have any logos (well mine didn't anyway).

    Andy if I hadn't read what you said about the driver side mount I would probably of never looked at my driver side engine mount and guess what it's got a round slice on the mount pretty much half of it was sliced cheers mate
