Filling the stock mounts is a pretty straight forward job. The biggest problem I had was figuring out what to fill them with. I did some searching and found this stuff, this is the real deal. You can get it at Grainger, it's $35 for a pound. It will fill all 3 mounts and you'll have some left over.

Devcon Flexane 94a:


The first step is masking off the mounts. This is a critical part because you don't want the flexane pouring out everyhwere or else you'll be dishing out another 35 bones. I taped it off with duct tape and it worked fine. Note: I cut off the rubber stubs on one side of the tranny mount because it made it much easier to mask off the mount. Also, which ever side you mask off will have the print of the duct tape, so if you care about how the top mount looks make sure you mask the BACK of the mount. Other than that I didn't have any trouble masking them off, just make sure to tape it up good!


Next you have to mix the Flexane. There's instructions on the box and it's pretty easy to understand. Once mixed you'll have about 20 minutes before it's begins to harden. You don't have to hurry up but be aware that you won't have all day to play with it. Once mixed it'll have the consistency of motor oil.

Pour the urethane in to the mounts:


And that's that! The full cure time is 7 days or you can heat them at 100 degrees for 24 hours(All this info is on the box) Once fully cured these suckers are stiff! I only installed the tranny mount and I can already tell a big difference in stiffness and vibration.

obviously that isnt for the aveo but the theory is the same.

Bringing the old thread back to life from the dead, as the vibrating motor mount(s) after shifting out of 1st and 2nd gear are more noticeable after I installed the second resonator and the exhaust got quieter.

Did anyone actually do this to Aveo motor mounts? If so, how well did it work? And do we actually have aftermarket options available? I remember seeing a link a while back for some orange aftermarket ones from Korea or Singapore, but can't seem to find the link anymore.

subachad has done this. i personally feel a redesign is necessary, the single horizontal bolt is always a pivot point, and transfers all the torque to the dogbone mount underneath.

Just read a few how-to's that I found with google, and in one of them they said not to fill the transmission mount 'cause it will transfer ALL the vibration to the car...

[petrified.rabbit]

how much do you think a little 1.6 liter can vibrate?

i had solid aluminum mounts in my 16v gli.. i ended up using loctite on all the dash screws the second time it vibrated apart.. but it was still "livable" in fact the girl who bought it off me daily drives it with her kids and hasnt changed a thing.. 3? years later..
