Auto Trans Mount Does anyone have a part number for an auto trans mount? Apparently none of the parts stores carry a mount for our cars???
I wanted to stick with a stockish trans mount as oppose to a poly since my motor mounts are still stock, and I have heard bad things about using a poly trans mount with stock motor mounts, issues with the bell housing cracking.
Anyone have advice???

^^^it may or may not. What it does do is put undue stress on the tailshaft of the trans. Dont tell people it will be fine. Are you gonna buy him a new tailshaft if his cracks?

i'm thinking he will be ok. are you saying the extra vibration will put more stress on the tailshaft HOUSING? i think if he can get the car to launch hard, that the poly mount would be the last thing that i would blame a cracked tailshaft housing on.

I had heard of issues with the bell housing cracking since the motor is still on softer mounts than the trans would be with a poly trans mount, forcing the bell housing to constrain the motor's movement.
My biggest issue is the nearly $100 the sealership wants to charge me for the new OEM trans mount.
Like it has been suggested by 01ssreda4 does anyone know for sure if a trans mount from a earlier/different model that uses the 4L60E trans would work?
