Re: transmission mount

what type/brand of mount are you currently purchasing? Also what type of driving are you doing? I.E. are you putting it in neutral and revving it up to drop into a gear, do you do alot of burnouts? Possibly the shift kit is shifting too hard for the type of mounts your currently using.

Re: transmission mount

You don't say if you were using OE rubber or after market poly. I've never broken the poly.

Re: transmission mount

Energy Suspension makes what you need. Check with your local auto parts store, Summit, Jeg's, or with Spohn, a board sponsor.
