  • Anything new offered in Tranny mounts?

    I likely toasted another one. I either broke it or snapped the bolts, likely just broke it though.

    Just wondering anything new out there or just...

    Harsh poly...
    1LE...
    Stock...

    I'll likely just go wiht a another 1LE, I have only broken one of those, and I have helped 2 people pull poly ones out due to vibration. Just checking if anything new came out...

    i'm not sure there are any more 1LEs floating around out there... last i checked they were "out of stock" which seems to mean "we're out for the forseeable future."

    give the polyurethane one a shot... after 500 miles you'll forget you've even installed it and it makes a HUGE difference in the sensation of shifting gears.

      No more 1LE? well that sucks...

      I also liked 1LE a little bit too because, I'd rather have a tranny mount give way and break then something else in the drivetrain.

        You could always get a steel one, but if the poly one is too harsh, it wouldn't be a good idea.

          hehe I almost mentioned a solid one but yeah I could see the steel one being rough.

              Plus, with a steel tranny mount, you have to use steel motor mounts so that you don't snap the tailhousing of the tranny.

                SPeaking of which, any tips on checking motor mounts...

                I do have ALOT of play in the shifter, and this is my 2nd tranny mount in ~12k miles. Might have damaged the originals.

                  crack your throttle and watch how much the motor torques... you'll be able to tell if they've failed.

                    We'll have to see when the girlfriend gets a free chance tomorrow.

                      Either way as a follow up, its in, I had to make a little bigger then the 1/2 in. suggested to get it to fit.(so I had to pull the crossmember off twice)

                      Its in and all tight, car feels much better, only drove it normal, Lots of cops on the street and I was prarie dogging the last 45 minutes of the install and was on campus in a parking garage so no toilets to let the dog loose [img]smile.gif[/img] , took me ~hour 30 minutes to do it all. Easy job, probably a big pain in the *** if you don't have a dremel.


                      BTw I tore my 1LE mount in half, and I picked up a Energy Suspension poly one from Autozone off the shelf for $23.99

                          Eh... if I could have gotten one last night, I'd have gone with 1LE, no modifications [img]smile.gif[/img]

                            btw, thing made my shifter feel like a vibrator above 70 mph... took it ot the track and it felt alot better afterwards. Still have to drive it around a little more.

                              like i say, after 500 miles or so it will go away completely.
