Product Details
Upgrade your eighth-generation Honda Accord with the Innovative Mounts 29850 Steel J-Series V6 Replacement Engine Mount Kit, specifically engineered for 2008–2012 Honda Accord models equipped with the 3.5L J35 V6 engine and factory six-speed manual transmission.
Designed for the Honda Accord CP3 and CS2 chassis, this performance-oriented engine mount kit provides a durable alternative to aging factory rubber and hydraulic engine mounts. Featuring heavy-duty steel construction and Innovative Mounts' specialized polyurethane bushings, the 29850 helps reduce excessive drivetrain movement, improve engine stability, and provide more consistent drivetrain response during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes.
The eighth-generation Honda Accord V6 is a popular platform for enthusiasts seeking strong naturally aspirated performance, particularly in six-speed manual configurations. However, factory engine mounts can deteriorate over time due to heat, vibration, mileage, and the additional stresses associated with aggressive driving.
Worn engine mounts can allow excessive drivetrain movement, contributing to engine rocking, clunking during shifting, wheel hop, and inconsistent powertrain response.
The Innovative Mounts 29850 addresses these concerns with application-specific mounting assemblies designed to provide increased rigidity and dependable drivetrain support.
Designed for the Honda Accord J35 V6 Manual Transmission
The Innovative Mounts 29850 is specifically designed for 2008–2012 Honda Accord CP3/CS2 models equipped with a J-Series 3.5L V6 engine and manual transmission.
Unlike universal engine mounts or conversion-specific mounting systems, this kit is engineered as a replacement for the supported factory mounting configuration.
The kit includes the primary front, passenger-side, and rear mounting assemblies, along with the associated mounting bracket and hardware components specified for the application.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Innovative Mounts manufactures the 29850 using steel mounting assemblies designed for performance driving.
The polyurethane bushings provide increased resistance to engine movement compared with conventional factory rubber and fluid-filled mounting systems.
By reducing excessive mount deflection, the system helps maintain more consistent engine and transmission positioning under load.
This can improve shifting consistency, provide a more connected drivetrain feel, and help reduce movement that contributes to wheel hop during aggressive acceleration.
Performance Polyurethane Bushings
Innovative Mounts' unique no-tear polyurethane bushing design is engineered to provide improved drivetrain control while retaining some vibration isolation.
Unlike certain factory hydraulic engine mounts, the polyurethane design does not rely on fluid-filled damping chambers that can leak or deteriorate over time.
The result is a performance-oriented mounting system designed to withstand the demands of modified engines and aggressive driving.
Because polyurethane bushings are firmer than conventional factory mounts, additional noise, vibration, and harshness may be noticeable, particularly at idle or with higher-durometer configurations.
Available Bushing Hardness Options
The Innovative Mounts 29850 is available in three polyurethane bushing hardness configurations:
75A – Black: Street and performance applications.
85A – Gray: Track-oriented applications requiring increased drivetrain rigidity.
95A – Red: Dedicated competition applications prioritizing maximum resistance to drivetrain movement.
Selecting the appropriate bushing hardness allows enthusiasts to balance drivetrain stability with passenger comfort.
Whether you're replacing worn factory mounts, upgrading a modified J35-powered Accord, or preparing a six-speed V6 for spirited street or track driving, the Innovative Mounts 29850 provides a durable and application-specific mounting solution.
