hey guys i just got my tranny rebuilt and some custom work with a custom shift kit and a new 2200 stall. no more then 2 times getting on her i blew out the mounts so now i am trying to find the strongest mounts that can handle the power i am thinking of going for the steel ones but want to know if they are the strongest??

if there anything else i should change to handle hard launchs and shifts??

 

If you go with a solid tranny mount don't you also have to use solid motor mounts, then its alot harder on the rear end? I think you will also get more vibrations.

 

which mount, trans? buy a ES poly mount

 

Don't buy an es mount. Too many problems with with not fitting right and causing problems. Get a prothane one.

 

i've run ES mounts in every thirdgen i've had plus a few others i've worked on and never had a problem. care to expand a bit on what problems they cause?

i use an ES mount on mine and I have no complaints either. Put one on my buddies car and no problems there either.

 

Yeah, same here. I've put them on at least 4 different ThirdGens and have never had a single problem.

 

these ES mounts, is that what they are called?? so i just go into a performance store and ask for ES tranny mounts??

are they sold at performance stores? or do i have to order them??

are they steel mounts? what are they??

one more thing what is the name of the mount in the back?? i am sure that mount went to, but i dont know the name to ask for it ?

thanks for the help!!!

 

The rubber mount under the tailshaft of the trans is the transmission mount. ES=energy suspension, it's a company. Their mount is made from polyurethane which is much stiffer than rubber. Summit sells them, though you may also find a local store that has them or can order them.
