replacing motor mounts on a '01 accord

Hi all, I have a '01 accord v6 with 92k and I took it into the dealer to
get my tranny checked out. They told me they couldn't fully diagnose
because my side and rear motor mounts were cracked so they couldn't get
into the tranny. Is this true that they can't get into the tranny? They
wanted $800 to replace the mounts, is this a fair price to pay? How
important is it to replace the cracked motor mounts?

Find an independent mechanic and have him check it out. The dealer price is
always way above reasonable level. You can also get the Honda parts from one
of the dealers that sell on line. Google search or look at the forum at
www.odyclub.com for mention of the url's

In what way couldn't they get into the tranny? A rear mounts on the
V6 costs $96.33+S&H on Majestic, and your dealer will want more. But
$800 sounds excessive (> $650 labor even at $150 a mount). Get a
second opinion.

RUBBER ASSY., RR. ENGINE MOUNTING (ECM) 137.62 96.33
