While researching pinion angles, I read that factory design set the engine angle at 3°. So if you put your angle finder on the intake carb flange and set the engine so that the angle finder reads 0° the engine will have the proper down angle. This it exactly what use. There is a reason the intake pad isn't level.
The transmission mounts attach the transmission to the vehicle. This helps in integrating the heavy transmission with the weight of the vehicle. This can aid in improving comfort and handling. Transmission mounts are mainly responsible for two functions. Keeping the transmission in place is the most obvious one.Engine mounts typically last 60,000-100,000 miles, but can fail prematurely with aggressive driving, outside storage, dry climates, and traffic collisions.

This clunking comes from the mount being worn and having enough play to move when the force suddenly changes.
These are the steps I took to change the mount: Park car on level surface and chock rear wheels. Jack up front axle and support with axle stands, remove front wheels (Note you can probably still do the job with the non-affected side wheel still attached) Remove the top engine mount nuts ( 17mm) on the affected mout.Vibrations rapidly increase component deterioration throughout the system. Even if the mounts can hold, letting the car vibrate will quickly cause other failures. 3. Engine Problems. Leave the vehicle running in parked gear and lift up the hood. If the position of the engine seems misaligned, you need to change the engine mounts immediately.
I went to Honda Dealer and replace all 3 Engine Mounts + 3 Tranny Mounts. They loosen all bolts of the mounts, start the engine, select to D And R gear, allows the engine to reseat themselves then retighten the bolts. But the vibration still persisted. I reliase that the vibration only came when the air-con compressor Kick-in. If i off the air
