| Re: New trans mount (wow!) I can see poly mounts being better than the rubber mounts, probably help with shifting too. I know the engine mounts helped in that area.
Now that I have my motor mounts done, I can feel the transmission move when I go over speed bumps faster than I should.
I've been under my car and the OEM trans mount does look ok, but I'm sure it took a beating considering how shot my motor mounts were.
While I do think the OP is over the top, I still think the poly mounts are benificial.
In theory if the rubber bushings are allowing the tranny to twist you won't be hooking up as fast at the rear(same with all the other rubber on the driveline) so I could see that helping.
After doing my motor mounts and diff bushing in poly I don't have any driveline clunk that's audiable.
My main thing now is getting my tranny solid, hopefully it will make shifting a tad easier. The motor mounts already made going into first and reverse go in like butter, but since then I can feel my shifts into second feel like the tranny is bucking back at me(even bled the clutch recently).
Also want to get rid of the movement when going over speed bumps.
If it helps I will let you guys know. Mind you mine are UUC not Creative Steel, probably same sh*t different company.
Oh ya I can't tell you what a difference any of it made regarding wheel hop, I have Hendrix axles and have recently added washers to my rear craddle mounts, so I had no wheel hop before the motor mounts and none after. The washer mod was just to get rid of any chatter I had left, and I think it worked, so far so good.
