Yup. I had the same problem. Tranny mount was in 2 pieces when i took it off. It allowed the whole rear of the trans to bounce up and down on takeoff, and it would make a heck of a noise as it hit the trans tunnel. I went the proper way, i guess, and ordered a GM trans mount thru a local dealer. Total cost: aprox. $80!!! DOnt be like me and do that. I have heard that you can use 1LE mounts on our cars. Check GM perf. Parts for that. Or (and im not sure about this one) get one of those Energy Suspension poly trans mounts from Thunder Racing or someone similar. It will definately firm up your drivetrain, and would be a heck of a better deal than the new stock GM piece.

I recently put a polyeurothane mount on my car and i love it. The only problem i had was fitting it on, but after i made the hole on the crossmember an inch longer, it fit in perfectly. Now my I can shift hard without the tranny bouncing or anything. IMO, go with the energy suspensions one

Maybe, jsut replace it I got a 1LE shipped form GMpartsdirect.com for $35 fit with no modificatoins, I noticed no vibrations that my car did not have before. And the car felt more connected. The part number is in the technical dattabase somewhere on this site.
ok i have an idea and if it's wrong, please don't think i'm too dumb hehe
So if I can use a 1LE one, then couldn't i just get a tranny mount for a z-28?
If not, i misunderstood :D

Dude trust me on this... Get the 1LE tranny mount, it is kick a**. The entire car feels tighter when you bang gears up and down. SLP sells them for 19.99. I am not familiar with the poly mounts but I have heard that you get a lot more vibration out of it. The only thing about the 1LE Is it drops the tranny down about 1/2" to 3/4" no big deal I put washers between the mount and the crossmember and it works perfect. The reason for doing that is when I would shift hard into 2nd and 4th the shifter would hit the console. But It might not with your console because they are different. :D
