The CorkSport Mazda 3 Rear Motor Mount is designed to fit and install like OE. No worries or extra parts to take your Mazda to the next level.
Design Focused
The CorkSport Race RMM combines the proper materials and design to create a motor mount that provides great performance and daily driving tolerance. The billet aluminum body is lightweight, strong, and durable with the black anodized finish.
Polyurethane Performance
Through testing and tuning, multiple durometer polyurethanes were tested to determine the optimal stiffness for performance and comfort. Durometers ranging from 60A to 90A were tested with the final result coming to 70A for the right compromise of driver feedback and daily driving comfort.
Strength In Steel
In order to properly install and torque the performance rear motor mount, precision machined black zinc coated steel sleeves are used inside the polyurethane to allow proper bolt torque to be applied.

If you're looking to dip your toes into the water on modifying your Mazda or just trying to get that little bit extra response from your throttle then this part is absolutely for you! This was one of the first things I did to my car and it took it from a zippy commuter car to something way more sporty feeling. No more bogging down when you step on the gas just go go go!

I believe this product is everything its advertised and paired with TMM really makes the acceleration,braking and shifting way better there is some extra NVH as to be expected hopefully as other havesaid once it breaks in it will find a happy medium. The one thing i do want to point out is if you have an AWD CX-5 the directions of install are not the same as the differential gets in the way of pushing the old one out and installing the new one. You have to remove the transmission mount to be able to push the diff highe enough for space. Also the long side needs to go passenger side on AWD other than that great product if you have AWD better get the TMM also because you have to remove it anyway

This was an incredibly easy installation- I waited until I had other under car work to do so the plastic paneling was already off. All in all this took me literally 10 minutes to swap out. Just make sure you have a breaker bar and an 18mm socket on hand, my 2015 needed the 18mm on the rear most nut. All else was 17mm. Performance wise, I can't speak for it individually as I did the TMM at the same time but the car definitely shifts cleaner and seems much more responsive. There is definite additional vibration/noise but it sounds great!

This is a fantastic upgrade over OEM. I instantly felt better throttle response in my 2.5 AT, but I think it shines more in the downshifts. Instead of the mushy downshift that the OEM mount delivers, this creates crisp, defined, and confident downshifts. This allows for a much more punchy throttle that pulls you out of corners like butter. The NVH calms down quite a bit once the mount breaks in. I really only notice it when the AC compressor kicks on while idle. Being the only real “con”, the pros outweigh it vastly!
Joshua Sturtevant
The RMM is a fantastic day to day upgrade that improves responsiveness and the overall driving experience. Initial vibrations calm down (on manual) fairly quickly but the benefits of the upgrade are apparent from the first drive, gone is the large amount of movement from a (likely) torn or warn stock mount leaving you with a much more direct throttle and driving feel.
Awesome
love it. dont listen to the provided instructions tho. the torque specs for the two main mount bolts are WRONG. motor side bolt is 104-120 other bolt is 96-120 not 96-110 like the instructions say. for the three bracket bolts there is a tightening pattern. make sure you torque down the two end bolts first THEN the middle bracket bolt.

This engine mount is stupid easy to install (you can do it while you are doing an oil change) and it really stiffens up the slop in your acceleration. You don't notice how bad the drivetrain slop is until you install this motor mount. Increased vibration happens when you start you car up and at idle. It almost makes it sound like you have an aftermarket exhaust inside the cabin. Other than idle and taking off in 1st gear I haven't noticed any increase in vibration. I have noticed a decrease in the lag in winding up the motor in any gear and my high RPM shifts are even faster than before thanks to the engine not moving around as much. This is definitely a recommended upgrade for those who like to push their M3s hard through the twisties. :-)

Got this for my 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 touring 2.5L install is simple. On cold start up with my CS axle back muffler, engine sounds tough. Engine response is greatly improved, no more loss power and engine jerking. Vibration is there but wife hasn’t mention anything about it yet, probably think it’s the muffler still heheh ???? I drive in manual mode everyday since I’ve purchased the vehicle on 20OCT17 new. While sitting at red lights or waiting a while in traffic, I’ll just put the gear into neutral. I’m my opinion, while in neutral vibration seems to calm down a tad bit. When time to me again I’ll put it into manual mode again. While in motion, you don’t notice the vibrations but feel the instant throttle response. Usually in a certain gear I would feel the engine lacking power when I step on the pedal now it’s just instant response. Must have modification for all the first generation CX-5.

For how easy this is to install this and the impact it has, this is a must have; especially if you own a manual. This will clear up a vast majority of the “slop” you get while shifting from OEM, especially in the 1-2 shift. This does add some vibration as to be expected, but it isn’t intolerable by any means. Definitely recommend this as an easy mod to greatly improve your driving experience!

Definitely helps with throttle response and was one of my early mods I did to my car. NVH is tolerable. Everyone who notices it doesn’t mind and it gives the car a more raw, racecar feeling, if you will. You can visibly see the difference with this motor mount vs a stock one next to each other. Keeps the engine in place so much more. A good mod to start off with!
