    The vibration is/should be expected. Sluggish? I dont see how a poly mount could have anything to do with it feeling sluggish. Its probably in your head cause your not pissed about feeling those extra vibrations

    i knew the extra vib was going to happen cause the new mount has very little give to it,maybe the sluggish is in my head but i swear it even rev's down slower.and it doesn't seem to have as much balls under 2500 RPM

    No chance you installed a new cam as well is there?

    I dont see how installing a mount has any effect on low RPM.

    I was just kidding with you.

    The tranny mount install is fairly simple. Which one did you go with? Energy suspension? If so, some have claimed they had to grind down the two nubs on top to help with installations and bad vibrations. I did not. I have next to zero vibration.

    Do some general maintance and your slightly sluggish behavior might go away.

    it was just a basic poly mount from summit an it was more then simple to do the install but it was the only thing i did to it when i noticed the issue
