Fuckin really ? Tranny mount broken again.... I cannot find why either ... Thank god for warranties on parts .. And I'm not just play part darts...

MOTOR MOUNTS! get a relocation cross member Or poly motor mounts and a new torque arm bushing/mount. or you'll keep breaking them

How much is. New torque arm bushings and the relocation bracket ?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 09-02-2010 02:19 AM

Relocation is like $250 I think. Well worth it. Usually they come with the poly mount. Theb you'll be all set. Slight more road noise but its A LOT better theba tunnel mounted torque arm.

I don't have the dough for that..

ILuvPizzaTimes10 09-02-2010 02:28 AM

Then get a poly tranny mount and baby it.

JoeyxGx2 09-08-2010 03:00 AM

I'm just gunna get poly engine and tranny mounts should solve the problem

good idea, then hammer away. my 305 5 speed ripped stock mounts like it was its job. no doubt an lt1 or ls1 will tear stock tranny mounts too.

same thing happened with my car man, i'm babying it for the moment with a poly mount on the tranny.

SLP IROC-Z 09-09-2010 03:53 AM

why are you babying it?

Rubber engine mounts + poly trans mount = snap!!!

ls6monte 09-09-2010 04:22 PM

My car has rubber engine mounts and a poly trans mount and I have had no problems at all. Is my car that much different from an F-Body? Or is it because of the torque arm on the trans that causes all the problems?

84ta406 09-09-2010 07:52 PM

Poly trans mount and rubber engine mounts here as well. TQ arm isnt on the trans anymore though.

Formula413 09-09-2010 08:28 PM

I don't think it's related to the torque arm. The problem is that when the engine flexes under load and the trans can't flex with it there is a lot of stress on the tailshaft housing, which is what breaks.
