its time to replace the trans mount and torque arm bushing on my 86. i would like a strong poly urethane trans mount as well as a poly TA bushing. who uses what? and where did you get it? oh, its a 700R4 trans and the car is all stock

ES, Summit.

I still wasn't happy with the TA though. I ended up getting a Spohn one, not long after he first came out with em. It was the old "slider" type, that I think he quit making in the late 90s sometime and switched over to the 2-bushing rotating deal. Putting that in felt like taking a giant rubber band out of somewhere REAL large and important in the drive train; made the car feel altogether more solid and interconnected than the limp floppy stock setup.

The Energy Suspension torque arm mount bushing and trans mounts work well.

Just beware of the poly trans mount if you don't already have poly engine mounts. There are tons of people including myself that had terrible vibrations doing that combo. I put a stock trans mount back in and it all but went away. Oh well.

Below is trans mount info that you might find interesting:

I went through a few ES Transmission mounts. Summit Racing was kind enough to allow them to be returned.
Finally I went to my local Auto Zone and bought the ES #3.1108G again and this time I installed it
"without" the preload plate and it works perfectly.
I also have the ES Motor mounts so there has always been some vibration.
Its not enough to see in my rear view mirrors and good enough for me.


So if your going to roll the dice on a ES Trans. mount it might as well be the one that worked for me.
After all it is the one listed for you car =
