Acura TL 2004-2006 Engine and Transmission Mount Kit 5-Piece

A complete five-mount set for the 2004-2006 Acura TL with the 3.2L V6 and automatic transmission. It includes the front engine mount, the front right engine mount, the rear engine mount, the front upper transmission mount and the front transmission mount. It crosses to A4526, A4517, A4527, A4544 and A4524 and replaces Honda numbers including 50830-SDB-A04, 50830-SDB-A02 and 50830-SDA-A02.

On this generation TL the hydraulic front and rear mounts go soft first. The car starts to clunk on engagement into drive or reverse, shudders at idle with the A/C on, and the engine visibly lifts when you brake-torque it. A rocking engine also pulls on the shift cable and the axles, so a tired mount set can feel a lot like a transmission problem on the 5-speed automatic. Replacing all five at once gets rid of the problem instead of moving it to the next weakest mount.

Automatic transmission only. Compare each new mount against the one on the car before bolting it in.

On the job: support the engine from above or with a jack and a block of wood under the oil pan before any mount comes out. Change one mount at a time, leave the through-bolts snug but not torqued until every mount in the set is in, then let the drivetrain settle at rest and torque everything. Tightening a mount while the engine is jacked sideways preloads the rubber, and a preloaded mount tears early.
