pro con ?? solid mtx mount

[raff18]

my car is in the shop and the mtx tranny mount is toast it came off in 2 pieces (joy oh fun ) my mech says it'd be fine just to weld a plate to both pices of the mount with the rubber still there

i know im going to get more nvh but is this going to snap my trans or what ???

 

[bubba]

I would just put a stocker back in there! but it's your car, I would put a solid motor mounts in though

Yea, that case is some 18 year old aluminum... Everything is as stiff as possible on my car... except for the trans mount. RCM has stock ones under $50.

soft on the tranny ******* the engine...

 

[SinisterSHO]

having driven a car with a solid trans mount for 2 years. I would advise against it. While the throttle response is awesome, it makes everything terribly rough. Find a stocker in good shape and stick with that.

 

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

Definitely go with an oem mount for the transmission

 

[SHOGUN88]

Yeah and ive heard of them breaking transmission cases., go with a stocker.

i just need it to last for a while im not going to be ripping on this car hard or anything btw i have 2 spair trans so if it goes **** up i have a fall back i just want to get it on the road as im 7k into this car and shes not on the road yet and my funds have run dry and my dd i dont know how its still driveing but knock on wood it is

 

[SHObill]

Just do this to your stocker, make sure you use a large rubber washer. I got it from the HELP isle at a good autopart store. That mount has been onmy 89 for couple years along with my re-enforced frt mount.

Reinforced mounts are really good but never go solid, somehting else will give, we do offer some options: SHO Source

You're lying to yourself if your saying your not going to be ripping on it. Just put in a stocker, its a lot easier than replacing a transmission.

This is a much better solution than using a solid mount. Limits movement, while still damping vibrations.

You could do this to your currently ripped mount, and you might even be able to get 2 bushings in there...one on the front (as shown) and one on the rear. You would have to use a countersunk carriage bolt in the rear, though.

I just ordered a new mount from Rockauto yesterday. 35 bucks plus shipping. It'll be here today.

 

[Eric VerValin]

Damn... $35 huh... you win..

 

[raff18]

where did u get one for 35 they dont have the right mount for a mtx on rockauto

 

[shobote]

Am also looking for a new mount; the one for sale on Rockauto is not the correct MTX mount for sure, as there is a picture.

 

[AREA 91]

Do not run a solid tranny mount. Bad things can happen.

 

[matasho]

i made the mount that was i sinistersho's car and i gave it to him because i couldn't take the vibration any more. i reinforced my new trans mount like the one pictured above but i did both sides front and back. i am a way happier person with out the solid mount. i strongly advise against the solid mount.

 

[nothingtoseehere]

I assure you I ordered the right mount. Do you go into autozone and ask for a TOB and take what they give you or do you give them a part number

I was wrong though, it wasn't 35 bucks, it was 34.79 plus discount

 

[Eric VerValin]

intresting.. what year did you search for? Or did you use a part number.. because its never shown up for a 92 from what I remember.. unless this is a new thing..
