Transmission mount fun
 

Sooo I had a broken tranny mount, replaced and 6 days later.... It's broken again.... What causes them to keep breaking besides worn motor mounts..? Need some ideas asap please and thank you

quit stomping on the gas after every stop...

I'd say motor mounts or Torque arm bushings.

I drive highway all day, no stop and go and no mashing of the gas, I just drive it unless it was just a bad part

Damn, I hammer on mine and still got 9,500 miles out of the last one. I hope my new one holds up better than yours did.

did you get a poly mt?

^ what he said..blue magis can get you a nice poly one for like $30 he said he has yet to hear of one breaking

You won't hear about poly mounts breaking, because the tailshaft housing on the transmission will break instead.

I'm gettin a free one from advanced cause it was only 6 days old but that's not the point it shouldn't of broke again...Do u know blue magic hours ?

same thing happened at the one i bought from advance joey, i think it was an anchor part is the name, i broke it the night we came back from the cape. i have a poly one on there now i just cant fuck around with it.

did u do it fuckin around at bass pro when u left haha

Don't do a poly unless you do poly mounts. You will always break a rubber mount if you beat on it with soft motormounts your asking for it. Get a relocation cross member and the problem is solved with a stock rubber mount.

Like he said, the engine and transmission mounts need to be the same, if you put a poly trans mount in with stock rubber engine mounts the trans will not be able to flex with the engine and you will break the tailshaft housing.

I don't think I'm brave enough to try that torque arm relocation crossmember yet... :shiftyeyes:

I have said crossmember for my TH400 swap, so fuckin mint.

You must get more noise and vibration inside the car though, right?

Idk, open LT's

I will say the car drive like a dream.

Nope was broken when I did that lol

How much are poly engine mounts ?

Around $30 each. They're actually much cheaper than stock rubber mounts, getting them in is the hard part.

I'll just go to blue magic, I bet Paul can get em for me

yea he can get em and easily to he was showing them all to me when i went to ask about them for my buddies...you know where he is now right? he has moved twice since being in bellingham

Just to clarify, when I said getting them in is the hard part I meant installing them, not ordering them.

Where is he at now ?

Gotta drop the A arms to do the engine mounts right?

I don't think the A arms have to come off but I know it's tight in there and you have to wiggle the engine around with a jack to get at them.

he is in mendon on rt 16 in the "industrial park" before dean bank....which is right before imperial he is straight back once you pull in the parkinglot he has a sign out front too

Yea I think I've seen it there.... Engine mounts sound fun

i would do everything together im sure you could do them with out tooo much of a hassle if you get it up high on jackstands then have a jack for the engine...or a lift if your that privlaged

I love being privelaged.....

It's because you haven't bought my Berger panel yet. The car is mad at you for depriving it of sexiness so it keeps breaking itself.

Haha I wanna buy it Kevin ! Just short on money this week, so how about next weekend ?? And I can get a lift if I need one if not I have indutrial sized jack stands and a jeepers creeper, and a new crafstman jack, should be all set... Now I just need to get that exhaust from pizza too.. But he didnt text me back... Lazy ass

come on the 20 bucks of auto zone bends and clamps just dont cut it for you joey

I think mormjatt is gonna grab it first for $50! He lives down the st from me and has been bugging me for it lol. But I'll let you know if he passes on it.

I'll buy it tomorrow then

I had ribs :)

Haha I had ribs lol idk and yea I'll buy it today, i works overtime so i had money for it and I want it like micheal wants to be white so sell it to me today or this weekend

Then you can come grab the flowblaster!! I should be around working on the car.

Kevin just needs to answer me so I know if he wants to sell me it.... Will the exhaust fit in my car ??

put it ON the car duh!!! lol

Derrrrrr but I'll wanna do that at my house
