Just got my son a 2006 hatch and we are doing this together along with all the mounts, and everything else. Been a fun project and best of all, he knows everything about his car. Proud dad here!!! Thanks for the great vids!
Hey mate just about to change mine on my 05 sedan . I was hoping since this was a year ago has the car been running smooth since the change for you? Cheers
I know that ur videos are over a year ago but I must say that it was very helpful in replacing my motor mount.I’ve worked on my cars since I was fifteen and as I’ve got older I still enjoy working on them. Great video!!
🔧🔩🏆 Another 5-star DIY how-to video from Ray. I wouldn't have known where to start or how to install the engine mount correctly without this excellent tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to record the video professionally and explain every step in the process. Also, you don't include any distracting background music 😖 in your videos-- an additional 'thanks' for that!
Ray glad to see your back. Quick question when it comes to warming up the Rx-8 is it necessary or should one turn on the car rev it to 2500 rpm for a min or so and just drive off? Your thoughts? Also I know don't shut off cold, the golden rule.
My quick feelings on that... Warm ups are great on pretty much any car. Not just on oil but on transmissions as well. Isn't necessary to rev the vehicle as that would only encourage a "dry" start. So long as the engine is running smoothly, I don't see any need to increase the RPM during a cold start. And yes, don't shut off cold... and if it is hot, allow it to idle for a minute or two before shutting it down as well!
Super common point of failure. I've had customers that didn't realize how bad the vibration was until they're replaced. The mazda3 really is a smoothly running car when properly operating!

Just did this with all three mounts and it went well! Thanks for the help!
Great job explaining step by step. This was the best tutorial i ever seen. I feel like i learned a lot. Not just how to do something. Thanks bro
This is one of the best re & re engine mount tutorial! Very nicely done 👍
Great video thanks, just bought a 2005 Mazda 3. All mounts are trashed. Your videos gave me confidence to tackle this myself haha.
Thanks for watching the channel! As the weather warms up, the videos will be cranking out... and YES, RX8 videos are coming!
Great video set. Just used all 3. Did noticed both of your torque limits said in-lbf instead of ft-lbf in this one.
The workshop manual uses in-lbf interchangeably. Thanks for your support!
Thanks , you're so professional. This video is helpful.
That looks easy. Need to do this on my Mazda 3, too.
Thank you for the video.
Where exactly did you place the jack to support engine?
Great vid, I did mine and my old mount was completely shot like yours.
thank you so much. my car doesn’t shake anymore & drive smooth now.
Awesome video!!!! Thanks and keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you. This helps alot. I have a mazda3 sport 07 its over 210,000. With new mounts. Thank you.
Hi Ray, can you please send the brand or link of the engine mounts you purchaced??? Much appreciated
im planning to do this to my car in the future..thanks for the video!
Nice vid, I drive an 08 that just rolled 125k, hoping to get many more years out of it.
Good vid! can you tell if you isntalled an OEM new mount or replacement? and what is important to note when you searching to buy one for this vehicle?
Can you please post the link to the set of engine mounts you purchased? Thanks :-)
Can you reuse the nuts and bolts for motor mount?
I just did it. Thank you!
Thanks pal, awesome video
Excellent job. Saving us a lot of money lol. Where can I order these mounts. Should it be OE or aftermarket? Thank you
Aftermarket is fine for a regular build. Amazon, rock auto, eBay, any parts store can hook you up. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a link for the mounts you bought? Has it held up since you installed it?
Hey man super helpful. But I can't find any videos anywhere on bending over that metal piece, I didn't buy that other part.
A large pair of channel locks or a vise can do the job.

Is this 2.0 or 2.3 Mazda 3? Thank you !!
Thank you, Sir! 😊
I got 230K on my 07 n i am ready change my engines now, thanks to your "easy to learn" tutorial 😁
So can you describe the sound with the bad mount?
I have a black 2006 Mazda3 hatchback that’s five speed with the 2.3l the mounts you just replaced is it a 2.0 or 2.3l dohc 16v vvt
The car in this video is a 2.0 but the procedure is exactly the same.
do you have to have a splash plate on your car
Yo I just picked up a Mazda 3 to do the same thing and my engine mount is gone too
Super common point of failure. I've had customers that didn't realize how bad the vibration was until they're replaced. The mazda3 really is a smoothly running car when properly operating!
Thanks you
Okay Pause on 1:38 does anyone else see a sad froggy face on the mount or is it just me.
Where does the jack go
did you mean foot/pounds not Inch/pounds? (per the video caption)
Nope. Inch lbs.
video shows 55-68 in/lbs, do you mean 55-68 ft/lbs?
Reason I ask is I’m ordering from Amazon and just want to confirm before I order
I have mazda 3 2005 mines gotto change
Easy to replace, but what a terrible design, every time you accelerate the engine pulls it up.
Thank you
