Camvill 04-26-2007 07:16 PM

yeh i got mine in took about 30 minutes but its alot harder ride witht he urethane one i used its really ez to do just 3 bolts and u have to support the car on jackstands and use a floorjack to lift the tranny up enough for the bolt to get by

bobb1589 04-26-2007 09:36 PM

manual or auto?

Camvill 04-27-2007 01:13 PM

auto

bobb1589 04-27-2007 01:58 PM

i see... as someone stated above it is supposedly harder on the v6 manual? which i have... but i am hoping to do this soon because i noticed lately that it has been moving excessively and dont want to damage anything

Did you ever go underneath to verify that it was the tranny mount?

bobb1589 04-27-2007 11:34 PM

havent gotten a chance... im almost positive as it is bouncing a good amount when i hit a bump and whatnot... what would it look like if it is bad? what else would cause this to happen?

Camvill 04-29-2007 02:09 PM

i didnt think v6's produced enuf power to break the tranny mount take a screwdriver to the rubber mount and see if it moves or split

Bandit 04-29-2007 03:08 PM

I think mine busted this weekend, guess I should of replaced it when the trans and rear was done. Feels like smothing trying to break through the console when in gear and clunks when you put it in gear.

now Do I replace it with the 1le again or go poly.

His is a 95, it could have gotten worn out enough to break.

bobb1589 04-29-2007 09:25 PM

it kinda is split not really split but like kinda like deteriorating haha... um... i guess ill replace it when i get a chance... didnt look too hard... what is it? just jack up the car... support the tranny with a floor jack or something.. take out the bolt from the tranny and the bolt from the crossmember and just replace? i have no clue... i just kinda figured that from looking at it

Yea, get the car up on jackstands, then unbolt the trans mount from the crossmember. Then jack the trans up a little by the pan (use a small block of wood to keep from denting the pan). Then unbolt the mount from the trans, bolt in new mount, and lower trans carefully back onto the cross member. Bolt the mount back up to the crossmember, and you're good to go.

ok thats easy enough... just one more thing... does anyone have a picture of how the mount is supposed to sit on the tranny? if the rubber part is actually supposed to touch my tranny... then its definitely shot haha

Camvill 04-30-2007 04:00 PM

i didnt jack up the pan but i guess u could

bobb1589 05-02-2007 05:23 PM

ok... i went looking on some places to buy the mount... what should i get? post some links on some recommendations im hoping to do this this weekend

bobb1589 05-08-2007 11:35 AM

ok... this looks like the one im ordering... just gonna go stock...

Savage_Messiah 05-08-2007 01:22 PM

that's a stock one. Poly's are on the shelf at autozone.... just look for the GM tranny mount

edit: if you go with sock, I need you to do me (and lots of people) a HUGE favor and measure the distance, with a stock mount, from the crossmember to the tranny

bobb1589 05-08-2007 02:03 PM

is there a bet going on for the distance? :p... the poly's look much different right?

They don't make a poly mount for that specific application - you have to shim it with washers when you install it.

The poly mount is the standard GM RWD trans mount that they have been using for decades.

bobb1589 05-09-2007 04:24 PM

so since its my DD i should just put the stock in and not deal with the aftermarket poly?

Yes. Do not bother with poly.

Well I've had poly for a long long time, and the original one.... it kinda backed the bolt out on rt. 4 one night, all of a sudden I hear the bolt and washers hit the ground and my tranny started clunking around on the trans tunnel lol. Nobody has an exact height for the stocker (at least nobody whos un-lazy enough to share), so I've been trying to find otu the exact height so I can make sure it's shimmed up exactly to where it's supposed to be, and I'm pretty sure there are more people in my situation too.

bobb1589 05-10-2007 11:07 AM

ok i will surely let you know... im ordering the stock one today

bobb1589 05-16-2007 09:09 PM

ok i FINALLY got it and put it in... it kinda helped stiffen up a bit but its still moving... is it possible my shifter is worn out/loose? there is also a small clunking sometimes

Well, the rubber mount does move around some. If your shifter was loose, you would probably hear a clunk or rattle every time you shifted - wouldn't be a bad idea to pull up the boot and take a look at the bolts anyway though.
