Solid trans mount

Stab it and steer it
I have one piece of information (not from here) that says if I install solid motor mounts, which I have, that I also have to install a solid trans mount. Never seen this anywhere else. Just wondering.

Comments???

TIA

OOH good question as I was planning on using solid motor mounts too. I have solid mounts in my 67rs and dont use solid mounts on my th400 (no problems) ... but I know its different ---

Brand? Part #? Still looking but I'm not finding anything that looks like it will fit.

uh, i always thought it was the opposite. if you install solid motor mounts, you DON'T install a soid transmission mount. the solid motor mounts will tie the motor to the frame, but the rubber trans mount will allow some movement of the whole motor/trans assembly. if you did both solids, there's no "give" in the assembly.

Further research on the Internet tends to confirm this.

Re: Solid trans mount

I put solid engine mounts in the wife's Typhoon with some hesitation because I realy thought it'd make for a big horse power vibrator and replace me. ;)
It's actualy the solid mounts are fine. I used the energy suspension trans mount and it's been doing it's job no problems.
Hope that helps,
