driver side bracket issue (6 speed mount kit)
I got an updated bracket from Mark during the SR20 Convention in GA (2013)

The driver side bracket doesn't line up like it should.

Situation 1:
IF the bracket is already bolted to the frame then: It has to be wrestled to get the bolt through mount thats on the trans.

Situation 2:
If you put the bolt through first then: you have to fight the bracket to get the bolts in the frame.

I am having the same issue. The actual mount where the bushing goes is also a few degrees off. It should be straight up and down but the top is rolled clockwise a few degrees so the rear bracket you have to fight to get all the bolts in.

I bought my bracket directly from @Mazworx a few months ago.

My setup-
98 200SX w/Prothane mounts

Here is some history...

I notice when getting on it, a very slight pull to the left and when I let off (put the clutch in), it pulls right....more like a shift to the right, very scary after a 4th/5th gear pull...it's a butt-puckering shiftyness, the kind that makes one glad there were four lanes and nobody next to you!

It has pulled the bushing thru the mount and sheared of the edge/collar of the bushing...


I have since replaced the bushing with a new one from Mazworks but I notice it trying to do it again so something else is going on. Any ideas?

Facts again: slight pull left when accelerating, hard shifty pull right after letting off/clutch in at high speed, after hard pull.

It's still trying to pull the mount thru...with only a few decently hard pulls in two days! Nothing looks out of the ordinary underneath. Could this be a mazworx bracket issue? I haven't found any slack 'in the system' after I had the axle bracket welded.

I was trying to take it easy until I could get to it over the break but it's too late...F'd my new bushing!

I can't seem to locate my JWT front dogbone mount but plan on swapping the crossmember with solid JWT rear mount very soon.

Whenever and for whatever reason...I'd be making contact with Mazworx for resolution.

Yeah that was the point of this thread, I thought they checked their vendor section.

I called Mazworx today because I've been considering ordering this kit. I ask if the motor mount issues in this thread had been corrected. They said they became aware of the thread a couple days ago but no one specifically has contacted them so far.

I got the impression that people are going to have to contact them individually to get this problem resolved.

That is incorrect! Mazworx was made aware in January 2013!

Does Eric still work there? He was my point of contact.

I dont know who has been messaging me on FB about this but he said he would show Mark.

He wrote me a few days ago to give me an update with Mark, but said he was sick and would get back with me.
