89 RS Transmission Mount Issue
Hey Guys. I’m having trouble finding a aftermarket 2.8 Camaro 1989 RS manual transmission mount.
The local shop tells me it’s circular , but everyone that comes up is a rectangle.
Do you guys have any experience with this? I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg for them to fabricate me something that would work.

Re: 89 RS Transmission Mount Issue
There are three crossmembers. The one piece with the typical mount, the two piece crossmember with the typical mount, then there's a one piece crossmember with the fluid filled mount. The easiest solution for both of the oddball crossmembers is to get the typical one piece crossmember and typical mount.

Re: 89 RS Transmission Mount Issue
I have the Energy Suspension POLY ROUND mount (1 box), don't know if 1 or 2 are required. Had it for 20+ years NEVER OPENED. I would hope the 1 box contains both pieces to do 1 crossmember. I will verify tonight.
Edit: I do have Energy Suspension p/n 3.1109G (black).
