IM GETTING A WEIRD CLUNKING NOISE WERE MY SHIFTER IS. ITS A NEW SHIFTER AND AFTER THEY GET BROKE IN DO THEY NEED ADJUSTED OR ANYTHING? THE NOISE ONLY COMES IN FIRST GEAR WHEN I TAKE OFF HARD. THE TRANNY IS PRETTY NEW ALSO IT HAS ABOUT 750 MILES ON IT. THE NOISE STARTED AFTER A CRUISE AND WE WERE RUNNING THEM HARD AT TIMES. THE NOISE AND THE CLUNKING MAKES MY SHIFTER SMACK AROUND WHEN ITS DOING IT. THE TRANNY SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS SMOOTH. THANK YOU DAVE

You only have to go there once if you replace the pathetic stock rubber mount with an Energy Suspension polyurethane mount. Stock mount-roughly $7.00 x 3 = $21.00 plus the hassle of changing it 3 times. Poly mount-roughly $20.00 x 1 and only changing it once. Just my .02.

lol, I got the same problem, went to my local performance store to pick up the energy susp poly mount and the guy wanted like $60 , so I ordered it on summit for $20 plus handeling $9.99, and recieved it in the mail yesterday, and plan on installing it tonight after I get home from hangin out with my girl, car is already on stands I'll let you know how it goes.

It's $29 at summit now. Order it from Spohn Performance. He's a sponsor, and it might cost a couple bucks more than summit, but the guy's got a great selection of parts, and knowledgable staff, and (when half of the country isn't snowed in, stupid snow) pretty fast shipping. Plus he helps keep this place open. Plus, I dunno this about any of the ones at summit, but the one Spohn carries (which is also available at summit) is the correct height, helping eliminate driveshaft vibration due to non-stock angles.

$20.95 from summit, but hey if I would have looked around, I would have went through a site sponsor. When I need something auto related I've pretty much been summit or ebay, but I'm going to have to search aorund some sponsor links so I know for future reference.

I'm about to go do mine now, I'll post back in a few hours.

Damn! That local dude should be thrown in jail for putting that big of a markup on his parts. That's ridiculous! I wouldn't worry about buying it from Spohn either. As long as it's a genuine Energy Suspension mount for GM applications, they're all identical. The cheaper you can find it the better. GM used the same tranny mount from like 1955-1997.

Thats exactly what I was thinking man, he must have been crack'd out or something. Anyways, I just popped my cherry......on changing a tranny mount by myself , and it took about an hour and a half. I think I spent more time actually geting the car up, and cutting a peice of wood for the jack to get the tranny up, and moving around the cars, etc. then it took to swap. Anyways now I gained alittle experience, and if I need to do it again, it should be no problem and I'm pretty confident I could get it done in under 30mins.

That's cool. Since you replaced it with a poly one, I doubt you'll ever have to worry about replacing it again though.

jcisthechamp05

Hopefully, but if I did....should I pride myself on being able to break a poly mount?, or be mad b/c I did?...lol
Anyways, how'd yours go smokum?

Dude, if you break a poly mount and it's not a faulty one, it would feel like a hoarse kiked you in the but.

Ahh, I got a prothane mount. And the $29 was from some jeep website. (I was looking around to see if I got a better deal through spohn) Either way, poly's the way to go.

yes im going to do mine this coming up weekend. If you have any pointers to do it quicker I would like to know. I've never done one. thanks dave

jcisthechamp05

Best pointer I could give, is to work safe and smart, make sure you have ur jack stands underneath there and not just the jack, I actually used ramps and I rolled up the rear side on them(so rear was lifted in the air, not the front, i found it easier that way). Others are I got alittle confused b/c they give you 2 bolts, but you only need to use one of them to bolt the mount to the crossmemebr, you can reuse your old mount to tranny bolts (2). U might want to have a breaker bar on hand and/or possibly spray some wd40 on it if it hasnt been changed for awhile. defianatly have some wood on hand to put in between the trans pan and jack. All and all though it should be very simple, and you'll feel pretty good afterwards if its your first time.

it was my tranny mount and it was my drive shaft hitting under my car.
