I was hoping to get some experiences with motor/tranny mounts. I've heard an equal number of good and bad things. Carcustoms has them for $50. Is this a good buy? and because everyone is going to ask... My Goal: Be quicker than most other cars in my area.
Motor / tranny mounts are a necessary mod for these cars and I often recommend it for the first mod you do.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
Only good thing to say about motors mounts, it shake a little bit, but you'll get use to it. As long as you don't go WOT at 60 while in 5th gear....
I've had mounts in three J's since 2000.... and I wouldn't own another J without having this mod.
Anyone who says they vibrate too much is a wimp
I've also got LOTS of other poly bushings on this vert... I love them all.

^^^ Yep! Must have mod! I've got all poly mounts made I think? Ma ea world of difference in the feel of the car.
Install is pretty straight forward for all of them I think. The rear tranny mount is a bit hard to get to but nothing too hard. The A-arm poly mounts are not bad either once you get the ball joint lose. That was my sticking point anyway.
Sure others can add to that some. I did them with basic hand tools as well, so nothing really special needed although I'm sure it would have been a bit easier with some other things.
Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?
you feel the vibs more in an Auto than you do in manual.

correct me if im wrong, and i apologize if i am thread jacking, but tranny mounts are only used and made on manual trannies yes? everything else are likeable on either auto or manual-engine, control-arm, and anything esle im missing

Tranny mounts are for manual only everything else will work for both.

what he said.
and ive had upper and lower mounts in my car for almost 2 years now. hardly notice them anymore. but its more noticeable on cold days, but when the car warms up, it goes away
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
Thanks a lot, I think I'm gonna buy some, like right now.
Ive got all, but havent installed my rear tranny mount (need to find time on a good enough day), and shifting is tons better, but the vibes are there, you do get used to them though. I happened to drive my stepmom's Honda back at thanksgiving, and noticed how quiet and smooth it felt, then realized how much noise and vibes the mounts make, but worth it to me in the end.
