the trans mount saga

[allbaugh_04]

Why? Not hard to switch it back if you don't like it....

Then I have a mount left over, i could spend that money on LCAs or something

I just installed the prothane tranny mount sunday morning. Lots of vibrations gets worse at highe RPM. I went to the local advance auto the guy there told me it might not be adjusted right. I told him I don't think it can be adjusted. He said that It threw of the angles in the drive shaft and the U-JOINTS are causing the vibration. There is a bolt that gets screwed in the mount and then I bolt the crossmember in . I screwed it in all the way then tightened down the nut. I guess I will take it in the ass at the dealer monday

They soften up really fast. I didn't like it when I first installed mine, soon after I didn't notice it at all. Give it some time.

Do you have the prothane one installed? I just got off the phone with JEGS. They claim that they have not had any complaints about vibrations. I find that hard to beleive . I thought about putting some 1/8th'' thick rubber shims between mounting point on the mount and cross member, thinking maybe it would take car of the vibrations av little more. I will try it out later today. If not the vibrations are pretty annoying and will replace with dealer one.

If the mount is thicker or thinner than the OEM mount, yes, it can throw off the angle and create vibrations.

I believe mine is Energy Suspension, but not sure.

I just changed it back to the old G.M one. Its not worn out, yet just signs of a little tearing. I did notice almost a 1/4'' differance between the two. I will purchase the dealer one monday. Just to much vibration for me. I don't want bolts to start falling out.

Thanks for all the input guy's

If you don't mind spending money you can run a stock trans mount & chang the crossmember to a BMR & take the torque arm off the tail shaft of trans! you wont
need a prothane mount.
With this set up trans basicly just sit's on rubber w/no stress
