Sharing for the masses: 1993-2004 Camry 3.0L, Lexus ES300 and early years ES330…replace the mounts as a group. Buy a quality brand. Most of the aftermarket motor mounts are terrible. Toyota OE are the best, but can be pricey or back ordered due to the car’s age. Avoid Anchor and any cheap group buys online from Amazon, eBay and others. The front and trans mounts are shown in this video. Good stuff. Upper torque strut mount is super important as well, and takes 20-30min to replace if you know what you’re doing. The front mount and TS mount work together to resist the engine rocking under power. When these fail, you get the dreaded clunk sound/feel when getting on and off the throttle. The REAR mount on these however, is a small nightmare. Take your car to a professional and make sure they know what they’re getting into. It’s worth it to take a small hit to your wallet to keep your sanity and get your car back/running faster. Like 👍 if this info helped you. ✌️ -career Toyota technician
GREAT VIDEO HAVE TO HAVE THIS DONE TOO MINE TODAY..UR A BAD MAN! BOTH DONE IN 30 MIN AND U HELD THE CAMERA AT THE SAME TIME!! 😎THANKS FOR VIDEO!!TEEWHY🤩PLEASE DO MORE VIDS ON THIS 🚗🏁🏁
Amazing video here, just used it to replace my front motor mount on my 2003 Toyota Avalon, I replaced it hoping to fix a clunk noise I hear when I’m slowing down, it’s happens when your at about 10-15mph, when the transmission downshifts from 3rd gear into 2nd or 1st, it didn’t seem to fix the issue, I was wondering if you had a similar problem, as my brother owns a 2000 es300 and it does not clunk like mine, I have also replaced all transmission fluid, and the rear motor mount, do you think the transmission mount could be causing this clunk, it looks like it’s squished down like yours was, but no visible separation at least that I can see
Thank you for your vid this helped me get it done and im no mechanic. I just followed the vid and i feel very accomplished now lol That rear mount tho im not looking forward to...
It probably will, unless the rear mount is bad. Or if you have a transmission issue. I would have some look at the engine while you shift to reverse to see if the engine moves too much. An inch of movement would be too much.
@@user-rc9jf8ng2k as long as you are using a wood board that spans across the transmission pad you are good. You can get around 3-4 inches with no issues. Done many times.
At 19:18 we see that the mount "wiggles right out" the bottom. So what year is this ES300? I ask because I have the same 3 liter V6 in a 2002 Camry, and there's no way to wiggle it right out the bottom like you did-- the fan shroud seems much closer to the mount in my car, and there are metal transmission lines in the way as well. This is turning into a nightmare; I can get the mount loose, but can't extract it from the engine bay from above or below.
Work was done on a 1997, it's the same thru 2001. I believe your Camry has a different sub frame. You may have to drop the subframe some and brace the engine in place.
@@mosesberkowitz3298 it's a huge series of videos, basically if you don't start from the beginning some of the understanding don't follow. But yes, I should have at least dropped the years in the description.
@@nicklldoit I always start at the beginning and follow procedure. The problem here is that I'm looking for 2002 Camry V6 Front Motor Mount replacement. If your video doesn't have the year, I have to skim the video to figure it out the year. No good. It's kind of funny, you didn't show the car's body AT ALL in this vid, so I couldn't see it was the last generation. Thanks for replying though.
It depends on labor per shop, I would say 1-2 hours. Ranging between $90 to $160 an hour, plus parts cost. This is the exact reason, I made these videos. I would only charge $20 per mount.
Hi there. Question.. my mom's es300 was just in the shop for a tranny rebuild. Since we got it back, engine oil is leaking on the floor.. Is it likely the didnt seal or put something back together properly. The shop is telling us they didnt take apart anything that would cause an oil leak.. what do you think?
I would ask the shop if they replaced the rear main seal as these are typically replaced when the transmission is removed. If that seal goes bad then it would leak badly.
That's what I asked. I believe he said the rear main seal is on the engine side of the flywheel and that they didnt need to go back there? Could that be true?
I would check the oil pan and the oil filter to make sure oil isn't coming from there, those are the easiest areas to fix. The rear main seal is the most difficult since the transmission needs to be removed.

Bro I already started the process before I got the hidden info about the cv bearing. A great link would help.
This goes for 92 as well
excellent lesson on changing motor mounts on Lexus ES 330, same as 300
Thank you for kind explanation. It is helpful for my replacement work of ES330.

All the videos are already on my channel, if you need anything else that needs replacing

It's hard to say, unless your transmission has a rough kick down in gear. Usually both engine mounts holds everything well.
Thank you for your vid this helped me get it done and im no mechanic. I just followed the vid and i feel very accomplished now lol
That rear mount tho im not looking forward to...
Thanks for sharing. Do you think this will will solve my “clunk” sound when shifting to reverse with my 1998 es300?
It probably will, unless the rear mount is bad. Or if you have a transmission issue. I would have some look at the engine while you shift to reverse to see if the engine moves too much. An inch of movement would be too much.
Noob question, is it risky to jack up the transmission that much? I'm worried about bending something.
@@user-rc9jf8ng2k as long as you are using a wood board that spans across the transmission pad you are good. You can get around 3-4 inches with no issues. Done many times.
Do you need a low profile long reach jack to jack up the car for stands?
It would help, I just put 2x4s under each tire when dropping the car down.
@@nicklldoitnice
thank you soooo much

Or remove the fans for clearance.
@@nicklldoit Thanks for the fast reply. The year of the car your working on (1997-2001) should be in the Headline of this video.

How much would a job like this cost?

@@thadiesel7655 it's true, the flex plate stays on the engine side. They should not remove that part unless they replaced the seal for the engine.
I would check the oil pan and the oil filter to make sure oil isn't coming from there, those are the easiest areas to fix. The rear main seal is the most difficult since the transmission needs to be removed.
@@nicklldoit got it. Thank you for helping.
What are the bolt specks for front motor mounts
Good question, I don't have the spec on those. Usually 25 to 30 ftlbs, can be done with a 3/8" ratchet.
