The rubber on the interior is still there, but seems to be a little worn. Would you replace or re-use these? Rear motor mount - exteriorRear motor mount - interiorDoes anyone else find their bellhousing to be a dirty mess? There was more crud on the bellhousing than the remainder of the engine. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 | You've got it apart. Why not just replace it if you can find a new one? Ounce of prevention!

For good or bad. My personal experience is yes, most bellhousings and especially the mounts are nasty most of the time. I can't count how many times I've had to dig the grease and dirt off to find the bolts and specially the mounts. I'd clean them up real good and if the rubber seems to still be bonded good I'd use them.
If its peace of mind you want and you have the cash then I'd spring for new ones.
On the other hand these are not hard to change if one ever does break.
It boils down to your decision as your the one that can see it. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Its pretty rare that one of those are any good. Even if they are dry the rubber is usually squashed out.
