Hello, I recently purchased three motor mounts for my 1996 Infiniti g20 4 speed automatic. First one is an Anchor part #8858, for the front of the car. According to rockauto this fits a 1996 g20 with 4 speed automatic, which mine has. However, I didn't even have a front engine mount on the car. Next is a DEA part A6346 for the rear. According to Ebay anyways this part fits the rear of a 1996 G20 with automatic transmission. If it fits the car the fit was very poor, the metal brackets that attach the mount to the crossmember did not sit flush on the crossmember. I suppose it's possible that the part was for the manual g20. I also received a transmission mount but have not gotten around to installing it yet.

So in hopes to sell these parts back sometime to someone, which G20 automatic DOES have a front motor mount? If you have a 1996 G20 4 speed, which rear mount did you use, and did it fit well? I just wasted 4 hours of taking parts off and putting the same parts back on... so any knowledge is welcome. Thanks.

EDIT: Anchor mount #8858 is for the front right side, it does fit my 1996 G20 automatic. Made a big difference.

There is no front motor mount on a p10 automatic (only on a p10 manual)

There are only 3 mounts for a p10 automatic (top pass side, trans mount and rear motor mount)

Thanks. So I would assume the Anchor 8858 mount fits the 91-96 g20 with the manual transmission?

The p10 front mount is a funny dogbone looking thing, nothing like the round rear mount.

Thank you for that picture, that helps for sure. I thought the anchor mount I purchased may be for the front right(passenger side). But most of the time that mount is labeled as "front right". And the rubber on the anchor mount did not appear in the same spot as the one on the car. Whatever, it must work for someones car anyways.

With Anchor that's not necessarily the case. I've had major fitment issues with them for 25 years. Even with the basic small block chevy mounts you have to grind holes and hammer them to get them to go usually.

Retraction, the Anchor mount is for the Front Right side and it works. I looked at the old mount in the car and figured since the tube that the mount bolt goes through was so much higher it must have been for a different car. The old mount on the car was just so warped from use. Was a pain to get the engine aligned well enough to fit the mount in between those metal brackets it sits in, but I got it eventually.

Feels like I'm sitting in butter now at idle and driving. Enormous difference.
