Manual Transmission Mount
Greetings! I have a 1989 Camaro RS 2.8L MPFI 5-Speed manual tranny. The transmission mount is broken and the replacement is ridiculously overpriced at $300. Wondered if anyone has had to do this. I wouldn't mind replacing the crossmember in leu of using a cheaper tranny mount. Any ideas or suggestions?
Here's a pic of the mount that is on there now.

i would get that mount, and then just find a thirdgen crossmember like this.
that should work i dont think it matters if u have a v6 engine and tranny or not.
thats a pic of a standard tranny mount crossmember.

BTW, if you welded in the cross member, may I ask why?

Re: Manual Transmission Mount
It's the rubber mount that keeps breaking. I welded the metal part of the vulcanized mount to a bracket I made to adapt it to the fluid mount style cross-member. I just found a cross-member on eBay that I hope will resolve this problem.

BTW, welding may well have caused the rubber to fail.

Re: Manual Transmission Mount
I found a used cross-member for a V8 on E-Bay and then purchased a new aftermarket mount from Summit. I had to elongate the slot where the mount attaches by a quarter of an inch with a rat-tail file but the rest bolted up nicely. It does vibrate more than the stock V6 version but not enough to bother me into shelling out $300. Total cost for my repair was about $40 with the used cross-member and a new mount.
