My friend has a V6 Camaro, he can only find a trani mount at the dealer for $190. Is there anybody that can help me find him a cheaper mount. It is a 5-speed.
Thanks

Nope...that's the only place it exists anymore. Since I know how to weld, I fabricated an adapter out of steel so that I can use a $19 auto trans mount. I can take pictures of it if you want.

ive been looking for one everywhere...ive had ppl tell me to get a v8 crossmember and the normal mount but i couldn't see that lasting more that 500 ft down the road.....

I've also heard that you can get an auto x-member and use the auto mount, but I'm not sure. Like I said, I used steel plate and welded up an adapter that I've been using for over a year now with no problems.

dont they make a solid steel tranny mount??
Supreme Member
Never seen one, but why would you want one? It's a V6. I could understand it if you were on a full on race motor, but solid mounts on a daily driver?

dont have to worry about ever buying another tranny mount lol
my 89 2.8 had the 190$ mount b4 it got junked it went...
now this one jus recently went....i looked it up on summit they only make one for v8 but if i do the v8 crossmember from a jy/ that mount i would never have to worry bout a tranny mount again

Yeah, but you'll feel every little vibration there is in the road.

Are we talking about the crossmember or bushing here?

My parts america listing shows the one for my 88 at less than 5 bucks...
Does someone have a picture of this mystery mount that no one makes anymore so that I can add it to my archive?
Last time I was under my car, my V6 T5 mount looked eerily similar to my V8 T5 mount...

u cannot use a solid trans mount without solid motor mounts. if u do u will break the transmission case..
yeah whats the diff between the auto/manual mounts a trans mount at az/pepboys etc is like 10$'s

Just go get a normal V8 crossmember, or a 6-cyl crossmember out of a car that doesn't have that $$$ hydraulic mount; and use the cheap one. You can get those out of either a T-5 or an auto car; they're the same.
I might be an idiot (just maybe....) but I fail to see how a V8 crossmember and mount will have trouble lasting with one of those weenie 6-cyl motors in front of it.

because the mount thats in my car is alot beefier/bigger than the avg. $6 auto tranny mount Originally Posted by sofakingdom
