Product Details
Upgrade your sixth-generation Honda Accord with the Innovative Mounts Steel Replacement / Conversion Engine Mount Kit (20251), designed for 1998–2002 Honda Accord CG3/CG5 chassis applications equipped with compatible F-Series or 1998-and-newer H-Series engines and an automatic transmission.
Engineered to improve drivetrain stability, reduce excessive engine movement, and provide increased durability compared with aging factory rubber and hydraulic engine mounts, this performance-oriented mounting kit is an excellent upgrade for daily-driven Accords, modified street cars, and high-performance builds.
The factory engine mounting system is designed to isolate vibration and maintain passenger comfort. However, as original rubber and hydraulic mounts age, they can crack, deteriorate, or leak, allowing excessive engine and transmission movement during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes.
Excessive drivetrain movement can contribute to inconsistent throttle response, unwanted engine rocking, wheel hop, and additional stress on surrounding components. These problems may become more noticeable in modified vehicles producing increased horsepower and torque.
Innovative Mounts addresses these concerns with heavy-duty steel mounting assemblies and specially engineered polyurethane bushings. Unlike conventional fluid-filled hydraulic mounts, the polyurethane design provides increased resistance to drivetrain movement while maintaining vibration isolation appropriate to the selected bushing hardness.
The Innovative Mounts 20251 includes three primary mounting assemblies and a driver-side mounting bracket. Together, these components provide a coordinated mounting solution for compatible automatic-transmission Accord applications.
Each mount features Innovative Mounts' unique no-tear polyurethane bushing design, engineered to control excessive drivetrain movement while minimizing unnecessary binding. This construction helps maintain more consistent engine positioning under load and can improve overall drivetrain response.
The kit is CAD/CAM designed, stress analyzed, and engineered for bolt-on installation using compatible factory mounting locations and original Honda mounting hardware.
Important: Installation requires the appropriate F-Series timing belt-side engine post mount, Honda part number 11910-P0A-010, used in specified 1995–1998 Honda Odyssey and 1994–2002 Honda Accord applications.
The Innovative Mounts 20251 also supports compatible 1998-and-newer H-Series engine configurations using the specified mounting arrangement. For earlier H-Series engines requiring the Prelude-style timing belt-side mounting post, Innovative Mounts offers the alternative 20253 automatic-transmission conversion kit.
Available in 75A, 85A, and 95A polyurethane bushing hardness options, this kit allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate level of drivetrain rigidity for their intended use.
Whether you're replacing worn factory mounts on your Accord, upgrading a naturally aspirated F23 engine, or completing a compatible automatic H-Series conversion, the Innovative Mounts 20251 provides a durable foundation for improved drivetrain stability and performance.

Installation Notes
Verify Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a supported 1998–2002 Honda Accord CG3/CG5 chassis.
Confirm Engine Configuration: Verify that the vehicle uses a compatible F-Series or 1998-and-newer H-Series engine.
Verify Transmission Type: Innovative Mounts 20251 is designed specifically for compatible automatic-transmission applications.
Confirm Required Timing Belt-Side Engine Post: Installation requires Honda part number 11910-P0A-010.
Check Earlier H-Series Applications: Older H-Series engine configurations using a different timing belt-side post may require Innovative Mounts 20253.
Support the Engine and Transmission: Properly support the drivetrain before removing the original mounting components.
Remove the Factory Engine Mounts: Follow the appropriate Honda service procedures when removing the original engine and transmission mounting assemblies.
Inspect Factory Mounting Locations: Check the chassis mounting points, engine brackets, transmission brackets, and surrounding components for damage or excessive wear.
Install the Driver-Side Engine Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 20210 assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the Driver-Side Mounting Bracket: Position the included Innovative Mounts 20210-SB bracket in the designated mounting location.
Install the Passenger-Side Transmission Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 20220 assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the Rear Engine Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 20231 automatic-transmission rear mount in the designated mounting location.
Reuse Compatible OEM Hardware: The kit is designed to utilize original Honda mounting hardware. Inspect all bolts and fasteners before reuse.
Align the Drivetrain: Ensure the engine and transmission are properly positioned before final tightening to prevent unnecessary bushing preload.
Torque Mounting Hardware: Tighten all fasteners according to Innovative Mounts' installation instructions and applicable Honda service specifications.
Verify Component Clearance: Inspect clearance around the engine, transmission, exhaust system, intake components, axles, and surrounding chassis structure.
Check Automatic Transmission Operation: After installation, verify that the drivetrain remains properly positioned when shifting between Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive.
Select the Appropriate Bushing Hardness: Choose the polyurethane durometer that best matches the vehicle's horsepower level, intended use, and acceptable vibration.
Expect Increased Engine Vibration: Performance polyurethane mounts generally transmit more vibration into the chassis than factory rubber or hydraulic mounts. Higher-durometer bushings typically increase vibration further.
Inspect After Installation: Recheck mounting hardware, drivetrain alignment, and surrounding component clearances after the initial driving period.
Professional Installation Recommended: Installation by an experienced Honda technician or performance automotive specialist is strongly recommended.
Confirm Fitment Before Bolting Down: Innovative Mounts states that mounts showing installation bolt impressions cannot be returned or exchanged. Verify all mounting requirements before installation.
