What's the best tranny mount to get. I've broken two new stock ones on my car already. It's on a 87 Trans Am 350 TPi with a 5-spd. Anyone know what brand and where to get it? I need one stronger than stock. Thanks

 

Get you a poly mount from Energy Suspension or someone else who makes that type. You can get the E/S one from Summit or Jegs, I think...

i ripped 3 rubber ones in a month, so i bought a polyurethane one and it has worked perfect for 6 months. i got it at pep boys.

 

Damn, you got one at Pep Boys? Never could find one there. I went there asking for a rubber mount once before I bought mine, and they said it was no longer made (WTF?) except for the 'selective speed shifting' option or something like that. For an automatic. I asked the guy what difference the shifter makes and he said, 'Idunno' Basically, the computer's god and I'm wrong. At least that's what he said.

Not to flame you dude, but I doubt that mount is available at Pep Boys. Maybe Poly-graphite or something to that effect, but not urethane. Special order theough a speed-depot like Summit only. These 'parts gurus' are not exactly rocket scientists. If they told you it was polyurethane, someone lied.

Get a polyurethane mount, they're built so the structure takes the twisting forces, unlike rubber mounts. The poly does nothing but act like a cushiion. I also went though 3, finally got a poly mount. Never regretted it. Best $25 I ever spent, almost

 

I got my ES mount at O'Reilly's right off the shelf in the performance area.

You would be surprised at what some of these local auto parts stores are starting to carry today. I have a Kragen (Checkers for some of you)local to me that has a corner of the store dedicated to performance parts. It looks like a selection straight from Jegs or Summit. MSD, Holley, ES, etc..This Kragen even does nitrous refills.
