2005 aveo engine mount how-to

[jasonlap]

hello on the driver side of my 05 manual transmission i see the transmission mount leaking oil and was wondering if theres a procedure on replacing this mount. its hard to get to cause the fuse box is just over it

so if anyone has a write up or can give me a copy of the service manual procedure. id like to do this project

thank you all

hi just to clarify the mount in it'self does not actualy contain any fluid therefore it cannot be leaking directly from this can you take some pictures as the point when the oil is coming from or even where it is leaking to as i have just done a complete gearbox swop and have had to remove the gearbox + remove the interals on seperate occasions so know a reasonable amount about the manuel gearbox.

thanks for the reply tomorrow when its not raining out i will grab some pictures cause the oil is coming down from inside the mount the round part strange it's not anywhere on top of the transmission that looks clean

ok this is highly strange cant quite work out where is is coming from it's defintly oil coming out right and it's not just moisture somehow gotten up there. i really cant think of anywhere the oil could be filling up in there.

the swop out procedure is fairly simple you dont even need to jack the car up to do it really.

disclamer at this point this is only an advisory or steps to be taken any damage or costs is at reader discression

you will need:

packing (variaty of thickness wood is ideal)
sockets
long extension bar
breaker bar
small socket wrench

step one:
diconect the batery

step two
remove the batery ( the two 10mm nuts holding it down release the bars)

step three
remove the batery mount three x3 bolts one on the power steering fluid two on the fuse box, then undo the 4 12mm bolts holding the mount to the frame of the car.

step four
pack out underneath the gearbox with the wood until it is a tight fit. (this is to prevent the gearbox dropping once you remove the mount)

step five
undo the three 14mm i belive bolts on the mounting to the gearbox then you will need to undo the three other bolts 14mm again i belive on the mounting side.

step six
remove the mount

step seven
repeat steps one to six in reverse order

one mount replaced. one thing that you may wish to consider is filling the mount with 3m window weld to stiffen it up before fitting.

Thank you so much the funny thing now is that its not leaking anymore but i will take the battery off and take a closer look this weekend thanks again
