Is this normal?

This is my tranny mount, should there be a gap like that from the rubber to the metal?

Looks like you need a new engine mount bushing to me.

Same here, but it isn't worn or anything. It looks like it came like that. I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure that is a mount from my stock engine which the b16b coincidentally fit in.. Can one of you b-series junkies check your mount to see if it's different?

I have a B16A3. I'm confident that mine's filled in, but it's dark out and raining and I don't feel like going outside to look. :p I'll have to check it tomorrow - hopefully it's not raining by then.

This'll give you the perfect excuse to get stiffer mount bushings though. :D

I posted the same q on honda-tech and they all said it's normal, it's so the engine can move freely up and down.. I'd still like to know what other b-series people have. I posted this to try and narrow down the cause of my driver's side lugnuts loosening every week or two.

thats normal.

thats normal.

Yup, you're right. I had a chance to look at my engine mount today and I have the same gap in my transmission mount. I stand corrected. :)
