Default What would be the steps in changing out motor mounts?

Morning All, Noticed the rubber on motor mounts on my daughters 2005 Neon were broken so I plan to replace all of them including transmission mount. Im mechanically inclined and just need some guidance on where to start as far as taking torque mounts out to get to actual motor mount and transmission mount? Alignment? I saw an illustration on a 115M measurement on the the top mount and also marking motor mount on rail. Do i need to align transmission mount also? and also the torque specs to tighten...I know alot to ask but this website and forum ROCKS! Thanks so much

Download the factory shop manual [FSM] from my signature for the proper year, note the passwords on the download page, and it'll tell you step by step everything you need to do! I also have a link to the torque strut alignment there as well.

Thanks darthroush, you da man I researched this site and saw sig and password 4 manual, many thanks. I know for sure rubber on torque mounts are broken all the way around so Im gonna replace and got motor mount also. In your opinion, u think I should change out tranny mount too?? Does tranny mount have alignment issues to set? Also need torque specs on bolts for torque mounts and tranny mounts... Ill definitely download manual as well Been on this site all day! lol Many thanks

I have yet to replace mine. They don't go bad too easily AFAIK. Every diagram is in the manual. You'll see when you open it up.
