Tranny mount or some other mount?

When I roll from a stop my shifter raises up about three inches and I get some really nasty wheel hop. Second gear does it as well,and so on if I'm really on it. Tranny mount, maybe motor or torque arm mount? This just started happening after I put all my chassis mods on. Early last week sometime, and it's progressing.

I'd suggest the trans mount first. Take a look at the torque arm mount while you're there.

While the poly worked great for me, other members have reported problems with vibration.

VERY GOOD IDEA!! Definetly trans mount....get rid of rubber..matter of fact...get rid of all rubber on car minus tires....but that's for another topic.....but year get the energy poly mount....shouldn't break if your not runnin' a lot of power.....when you get that thing built up...you can get a new crossmember that has the torque arm mount to it instead of pushing up on bottom end of tranny and you'll never break those again...IMO

but for now for sure poly mount.
