umm.. very hard to understand what you've written.

looks like your saying the engine is shaking a lot?

Do you mean excessive vibrations in the car? or excessive movement on the engine itself.?

If the engine itself is shaking a lot then the one or more mounts needs to be replaced.

if you want the engine to stop moving so much use polyurethane mount inserts, but then your whole car will rattle. Ask anyone with polyurethane mounts, the whole damn car rattles.

I can attest to that, if there was a small rattle that bugged you before, then you better buy some earplugs.

^ you can drop an h22 into an ef chassis, convert to obd1, convert to hydraulic clutch....but you cant figure out how to stiffen up the mounts....

Wow, im in shock.


Get some prothane inserts from any store. They will fix your problem.

you can also fill the mounts with window weld urethane used to glue windshields into cars.

There's no mount kits for the H22 in an EF..

Mounts have to be custom welded to the body.

There's no dirty solution to this.. You need new mounts, or new bushings..

I'm not sure where to get inserts.. I got HCP mounts on my EG.

The silcone will harden after a few hours..

Your clutch is still cable?? What year H22 do you have? I always thought h22 tranny's were only hydro. To convert to hydro, you'd need a hydro tranny first of all. Then the complete hydro assembly..

Clutch line, clutch resevior, clutch master cylinder.. Not sure what clutch line you can use, cuz most lines are built specific to the car. Also, i'm not sure if you'd have to drill out a hole for the Master cylinder to connect to your pedal or if there is a hole already there, just capped.

We sell the mounts at PI they asre made by Energy Suspension. It is actually a replacement bushing for the stock mount. These are polyurethane.

...enjo makes h22 ef mounts
or so it said on their website about 3 months ago...
your engine will sit low and the inside of your car will rattle like a ****... if its the engine you want to stop from moving this will do it. if the inside rattles and you want to stop it soundproof the car... its not goin away
