This is hands down the best mount I have ever laid my eyes on. I am beyond impressed with the build quality and the welds!! Just super! The metal is heavy and strong! It surprised me how heavy it was when I took I out the box. Install was somewhat a pain, but that's what makes fixing cars fun!!! I know for a fact that my transmission will never move ever again no matter what!

It's a no brainer as to what needs to be done for installing this mount. Install took a little more than an hour. The car is shifting a lot better, especially 1st - 2nd which I was having problems with. 3 - 6 are much more solid feeling. I purchased the mount with 70 Duro bushings, and absolutely no added vibration or noise. Now I will order the 88 Duro bushings, and expect the 1 - 2 to be even better. Hopefully not much more NVH. Glad to have that OEM mount outta there! Thank you Tony.

The install wasn't as easy as expected. Only wish there were some installation instructions on how to do the install. I had to pull up a separate installation process online. I was required to prop the transmission from underneath in many different directions in order for the mount to line up with the holes. As well as I believe there should have been two washers instead of just the one in the front part of the bushing. In order to protect from any tear all around. Other than that the design and quality of the product is very impressive compared to the poorly designed Oem mount. Driving my car now feels a lot more solid. Other than the vibration noise while driving, which I'm pretty sure will lessen up after the break in, it feels a lot more solid on take offs from first and in between gears. Overall it's a great mount.

I'll start with the install. It would have been nice to have some instructions as there was a bit of tear down involved just to get to the mount. Nothing difficult, but I like having a clear picture of what I need to do before starting a project. Due to the added washer on the forward side of the bushing it was wider than the transmission side bracket which required I grind down some of the casting material to make it fit. Took a little wiggling and some pounding with a block of wood and my 32oz hammer but I got it. Very well built product. It's kind of sad that it looks more intelligently designed than the factory piece. It's also lighter! However the battery tray mount tab is wider than the bracket on the battery tray that holds the loom going to the fuse box. After grabbing and pulling on the loom I determined it wasn't going to go anywhere so I just took the bracket off the batter tray and problem solved. However I do not like completely removing other parts to install a new one. I'll chalk it up to weight reduction and get over it though. I have only driven it for a about 10 minutes just to do a test drive but it made all the issues I was having disappear. No more clunk on startup, no bucking and clunking on take off or between shifts. Putting my foot down in first or second used to make me thing the axle was going to tear itself loose. That side of the car feels solid now. There's the obvious added vibration which I'm sure will lessen after more break in. I can also hear more transmission noise which i read about being normal and I think my pilot bearing is toast, which I couldn't hear with the factory mount. Overall I'm very happy it's in there and am itching to do the passenger side and rear as well. Thank you
