Product Details
Upgrade your Honda S2000 drivetrain with the Innovative Mounts 90730 Steel Rear Transmission Mount, designed as a performance replacement for the factory rear transmission mount found in the 2000–2009 Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2 chassis.
Engineered for Honda S2000 models equipped with the factory F20C or F22C engine and manual transmission, the Innovative Mounts 90730 provides improved drivetrain stability, reduced excessive transmission movement, and increased mounting rigidity compared with worn factory rubber mounts.
The 90730 is also compatible with properly configured K-Series engine conversions, making it a versatile solution for enthusiasts upgrading their S2000 with a K20 or K24 engine.
Factory engine and transmission mounts are designed to isolate vibration and provide a comfortable driving experience. Over time, the original rubber and fluid-dampened components can deteriorate, crack, or lose their effectiveness, allowing excessive drivetrain movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting.
The Innovative Mounts 90730 replaces the factory-style mounting arrangement with a durable steel assembly featuring a performance polyurethane bushing. This design helps minimize unwanted drivetrain movement while maintaining more consistent transmission positioning under load.
Featuring CAD/CAM-engineered construction, stress-analyzed components, and Innovative Mounts' no-tear polyurethane bushing design, the 90730 is an excellent upgrade for daily-driven S2000s, naturally aspirated performance builds, supercharged and turbocharged applications, and dedicated motorsport vehicles.
Important: Part number 90730 is an individual rear transmission mount. It is not a complete engine mount kit or K-Series conversion kit.

Available Polyurethane Bushing Hardness Options
75A – Black – Street / Performance
The softest available bushing option for the 90730.
Recommended for daily-driven and performance-oriented Honda S2000 applications where improved drivetrain stability is desired while retaining some vibration isolation.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 250–400 HP.
85A – Grey – Performance / Race
Provides increased drivetrain rigidity for modified engines, aggressive driving, and competition applications.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 400–500 HP.
95A – Red – Extreme Race
The stiffest available polyurethane option, intended for high-output engines and dedicated racing applications.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: 500+ HP.
These horsepower ranges are manufacturer bushing selection guidelines rather than guaranteed load ratings or minimum horsepower requirements.
Important: Increasing bushing hardness generally increases noise, vibration, and harshness transmitted into the vehicle cabin. The 75A option is typically the most appropriate starting point for a street-driven S2000.
Innovative Mounts 90730 vs. 90730-SB vs. 90750
