Thread: Engine/trans mounts?

The reason I ask is I seem to be getting lots of drivetrain windup on hard acceleration and it makes shifting a little sketchy. The stock mounts seemed fine on inspection but I'm thinking they are worn/blown out on the inside and it's causing my issues. i've never heard of the "sport mounts" are these a factor replacement/upgrade or what? right now i'm thinking the Wevo's are the way to go, just...

I'm using the stock mounts, as I've hear that the solid mounts will knock your fillings out. With a stiff suspension, I didn't even think about the WEVO's due to vibration. It would just be too much. That's all I got for you... What year and body style? 87 coupe What Engine and how much power? 3.3 and 400 RWHP What mounts are you running? Stock How do you like them? +1

Sport mounts here for engine and trans. Nice compromise and really no problem at all for streetability.

I have the wevo mounts and they are just fine. I cant compare to stock mounts since i never had them on this car. I did the swap on my carrera before the ex made off with it and there was a little more engine noise, not any noticeable vibration and it shifted much better. So when I built the turbo i didnt even bother putting the stock mounts in. My turbo is a targa, 3.4 liter with ssc cams headers, adjustable wur, K-27hfs turbo, 1 bar boost,...
