Spohn, a board sponsor, or nearly any auto parts store should be able to furnish a poly mount.

Re: Trans mount

Yeah but the Energy Suspension one is not the right height and creates alot of driveline noise... I haven't heard any stories but I always wondered if that could be dangerous?? Like for the front of the driveshaft..?

Though some members have reported problems (IIRC, some shim and some don't, which is the same with the OE version), I run the ES without problems. IMO, the noise is unobtrusive.

Re: Trans mount

What other vendors sell a correct tranny mount? I do mostly all street driving... Rubber might be my best bet but i don't mind some noise, as long as it doesn't mean i'm braking the driveshaft / bellhousing while doing so...

thnx
