2012 GMC Acadia Engine & Transmission Mount Torque Specs

OEM-referenced torque, socket, and thread specs for the 3 engine and transmission mount fasteners on the 2012 GMC Acadia — including the Engine Mount Bracket Bolt (M10) (torques to 43 ft-lbs (58 Nm), M10 thread). Replacing a broken or collapsed motor mount is one of the most common vibration fixes; get the torque right so the new mount seats square. Full bolt specs for the rest of the vehicle are linked below.

On the 2012 GMC Acadia, the transmission mounts are: Transmission Mount Bolt (torques to 45 ft-lbs (60 Nm)). Powertrain mount bolts are usually torque-to-yield or thread-locked from the factory — replace any single-use bolt, and confirm the value against your service manual before reassembly.

How to replace and torque Acadia engine & transmission mounts

Support the engine (or transmission) from below with a jack and a block of wood, or from above with an engine support bar, before unbolting any mount — the powertrain will drop otherwise. Replace mounts one at a time so the others hold alignment. Raise or lower the powertrain until the new mount's bolt holes line up WITHOUT prying, then start every bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading. Make the final pass with a calibrated torque wrench, and let the powertrain settle onto all mounts before the last torque check. A mount torqued while the engine is jacked off-center pre-loads the rubber and transmits vibration.
