Poly tranny mount with stock motor mount? I put in the poly tranny mount I bought from Ws6store. Didn't get around to the motor mounts yet. Will it hurt anything to drive with just the poly tranny mount? The stock motor mounts are in good shape yet.

Dont hammer on it and you will be fine. When you hammer on it with poly trans but rubber motor mounts, the trans tailshaft is what is resisting rotation. Thats bad, as it is cast aluminum that can break. Possibly cracking the trans case and making the trans trash, more or less.

ive been using a poly tranny mount for years. Take it to the drag strip all the time. This might explain why my drive shaft is rubbing in my tranny tunnel under curtain driving loads. CRAP!!!

I had a red polyurethane transmount in my -89 Iroc for a while,(stock motormounts) and it made a shitload of vibrations in the car! I replaced it with a new stock GM rubber piece, and the problem was solved. My buddy has the same tranny mount in his -98 Camaro which also has poly motormounts as well and he has no vibration problems at all
