Is a prothane trans mount a must when doin prothane motor mounts? I'm tired of my ypipe banging the floor, so I'm putting in prothane motor mounts. Just wondering if i have to do the trans too. I was wanting to keep vibration to a minimum.

No. Personally I would recc against a poly tranny mount when you have poly motor mounts as the vibrations are really transmitted through out the car. I had one and just recently switched back to the OEM rubber tranny mount and the vibrations reduced quite a bit and the shifter settled down some. Just my .02!!!

I just had both done this month basically, motor mounts went on first. There was a noticeable icnrease in vibes at idle, but quite livable. The transmission mount Im not totally sold on. For the most part it doesnt transmit that much more vibes into the car. i find greatest vibes are at wide open, or near 140 kmph. That might be due to my storage tires beening on still or the rear end that is whinning away. overall the cost is what sold me on poly, that and they wont tear. my car is a dd, i drive it 80km daily. Overall for maximum confort go rubber for the transmission. I probabaly would have it if it wasnt stupid priced up here in canada, and the week wait.

I have poly trans and motor mounts and I feel all the vibrations from the engine & trans. It's a little annoying but tolerable.
