1998 Buick Park Avenue transmission mount

I was looking over the car and found yet another problem. The front transmission mount is a little bit broken. I also talk a little bit about some future videos.

haha my truck broke a mount before i just used a chain binder and rachet straps to hold her down

@chevyreaper I've seen people do that before

oh come on we are all rednecks I know , but a missing oil cap ? a true redneck mechanic would at the least have an old pair of their under shorts stuffed in there !!!

[bah53]

@towrecker Why do people think its missing? Its off to the side at the begining along with the plastic cover. And its right there on the engine from 2:06 to 6:06 then I take it off again lol.

[towrecker]

@bah53 your right , I did not notice it when it was there , let me guess it has to come off to get the cover off ...oh well my bad , but you got an extra view when I came back to watch it again to see lol :)

@towrecker Yeah it has to come off to get the cover off. No big deal tho, I just thought it was funny that two people commented on it.

@BigBoy4005 I always use steel square tubing and make solid mounts for these cars. It makes a WORLD of difference in how they drive. buick puts those cheap rubber junkers on there to soften up shifts for grandma and grandpa. Takes tubing, a saw, and a good drill bit. and bolts.

ive owned a dozen of these 3800 cars and ive always broke that same mount!!!! so i built a solid mount. was too easy and the cars feel much better after doing that

Very common on these cars are the strut mount/bearings go bad causing a clunk noise in the upper part of the strut tower. I've replaced many of these and always takes car of the clunk noise.

FWD Motor/tranny mounts really take a beating, having to hold the multiplied torque to the wheels, not just engine torque. My cadillac has HYDRAULIC motor mounts, the front one lasts me about 10K miles, or 500 green lights, whichever comes first, heh. Luckilly they're guaranteed for life from the parts store.  If that was a V8 you could almost weld it solid, but 90° V6s are a little too rough for that.

Redneck ingenuity at it's best, awesome job. Can't wait to see the next installment.
