Either should work with the Energy Suspension bushing. That one just has extra isolators on it (And those are through-bolt isolators which won't rip in half, too. )

That will work.

When I put in my poly mount I also ordered the poly isolator bushing. If you give those ruber ones a squezze you will notice that they are extreamly soft. The poly ones are much harder.

Not sure how much of an improvment they will make, but I like them. They transfer more vibration through the shifter witch gives better feedback on 1.) how I am shifting, and 2.) road conditions. Vibrations are not all ways a bad thing.

I ordered them from Summit Racing.

Summit part number:
ENS-3-1109R

They ran me $17.95 . I'm not sure if summit ships to the UK or not.

That's great that you found a crossmember! Once you stick the polyurethane trans mount on, you should never have to replace it again. I went thru 3 rubber mounts in two years- then I put the Energy Suspension poly mount on in August of 1997. I haven't had to change it YET, and it's 7 1/2 years later!

The Energy Suspension polyurethane torque arm bushing is also a great part; it'll make the back of your car feel more "solid" around turns. You re-use the original GM bracket, so it's a little hard to install (the poly doesn't squish, I had to use pliers to force the bracket closed), but it's well worth it. There's two kinds depending on your torque arm; find the one you need at http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/cam2.html (they have a diagram).

thanks tom......

yeah its cool i found one. also found out i can replace those secondary rubbers with poly aswell and will definatly do the torque arm .
dont suppose someone could list all three part numbers for me can they, im haveing a nightmare finding them on summits website. who is the best place to buy them from?
dont suppose someone would be up for getting them for me and sending them over here in to uk ?
that way i wont have to pay tax when they arrive at my door (uk customs suk!!! )
Thanks
Nick
