TITLE:
Growl When Accelerating? Check the Left Motor Mount

APPLIES TO:
2004 CR-V with A/T

SERVICE TIP:
If the left front motor mount in a isn't installed properly, you'll hear a growl when accelerating. The motor mount, which is attached to the A/T, has rubber ears that keep the motor mount from contacting the motor mount bracket. If the rubber ears aren't facing the right way, the motor mount can contact the body and transmit engine and A/T noise.

To fix this problem, check the rubber ears on the left front motor mount, and make sure they're pointing down as shown. If the ears aren't pointing down, refer to step 11 on page 5-11 of the 2002-04 CR-V S/M, and install the ears correctly. (On ISIS, use the keyword ENGINE INSTALL, then select Engine Installation from the list.)
