kirkasaourus mounts, rear doesnt fit Options

[6G94celica]

So.... i bought the motor mount inserts from kirk hutchinson and the front one fit perfectly, but the rear one i cannot get in for the life of me. the polyurethane tabs that insert into th mount are to big and spaced out to far. it is an st rear mount that is supposed to be identical to the gt (same part number and everything) but i cant get it to fit. it fits into a different rear mount i have from a gt but i cannot use it becuse the center is completely ripped out of it. if anyone has any solutions that would be great. all i can think of is shaving some off but i dont know what kind of negative affects that would have if any.

thanks alot

Source another GT mount?

I don't know where you got your P#s, but I don't think the GT and ST mounts are the same.
The engine and trans are totally different, from different families.

you have an auto. The A/T rear mount is different than M/T rear mount. Did you rear the post about these ? I covered it completely, see page 4 for pics

^^ AUTO on left, MANUAL on right

you would need to swap in a M/T rear mount and then rig up your auto shifter cable to the new mount.

Kirk Hutchinson was asking for a loan of a mount or a plaster cast at one point. Might be worth contacting him and seeing if he is still interested in pursuing this.

I used a grinder to shave it a bit to fit. (The thicker one)

ya i glanced at that but i guess i forgot the a/t to m/t difference so thats where im wrong. ill check with him to see if he wants the mount. thanks again everyone
