Parts for your 2001 Daihatsu Gran move-Engine mount

2001 Daihatsu Gran Move engine mount

Yes, the 2001 Daihatsu Gran Move absolutely uses engine mounts. This is confirmed by the Daihatsu Gran Move/Pyzar G3xx workshop manual (engine mounting/insulator section) and the Daihatsu Electronic Parts Catalogue for the G301/G303/G311 series, which list multiple “engine mounting insulators” and brackets for the transverse-mounted HC‑EJ 1.5‑litre engine and its transmission. Aftermarket catalogues for AU/NZ also range front/rear and side mounts for this model, reinforcing that mounts are standard kit on the vehicle.

On this Gran Move, the mounts do a few critical jobs: they hold the engine and gearbox in the right spot, soak up vibration so the cabin doesn’t buzz, and limit how much the powertrain rocks when taking off, changing gears, or braking. The layout typically includes a right-hand (timing side) engine mount, a left-hand (transmission) mount, and a rear torque/roll mount. Some variants also have a front stopper, depending on market and transmission.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to give the engine mounts a once-over every 20,000 km or whenever chasing NVH issues. Rubber perishes with age and heat, and hydraulic mounts (where fitted) can seep. If the Gran Move is idling rough in gear, shuddering on take-off, clunking when shifting, or the engine rocks noticeably when the throttle is blipped, the mounts deserve attention.

• Common signs: excess vibration at idle, thumps on acceleration or braking, visible cracking or separation in the rubber, collapsed height, or fluid leakage from a hydraulic mount.
• Good practice: replace like-for-like (match manual/auto and engine code), use quality OEM-equivalent parts, and do one mount at a time while supporting the engine safely.

When replacing, support the sump with a jack and a timber block, never a bare jack pad. Loosen neighbouring mounts slightly to relieve bind, fit the new mount, then torque everything to spec with the vehicle at normal ride height so the rubber isn’t preloaded. After fitting, check that exhaust flex, driveshafts, and shifter cables aren’t under tension. If a mount has completely collapsed, inspect the rear roll stop and brackets too—once one goes, the others cop extra load.

A tidy Gran Move with fresh mounts feels calmer, shifts cleaner, and puts less stress on the rest of the driveline—well worth doing before chasing more complex NVH gremlins.

Popular questions

How many engine mounts does a 2001 Daihatsu Gran Move have?
Most AU/NZ Gran Move (G3xx) setups use three primary mounts: right engine-side, left transmission-side, and a rear torque/roll mount. Some trims may also include a front stopper. Always check by VIN and transmission type to confirm the exact arrangement.

What are the classic symptoms of worn mounts on a Gran Move?
Expect excess vibration at idle (especially in Drive), a knock on take-off or when shifting, and noticeable engine movement when blipping the throttle. Visual clues include torn or collapsed rubber, or fluid seepage if a hydraulic mount is fitted.

Can a competent DIYer replace the engine mounts at home?
Yes, with proper support gear. Use a jack and wood block under the sump, swap one mount at a time, and torque to workshop specs with the vehicle at normal height. If corrosion, seized fasteners, or alignment issues pop up, a workshop lift and an engine support bar make life easier.
