Default Bad vibration after new tranny mount

I just put a poly tranny mount in my 98 Z28 A4 now i have a bad vibration at higher rpms. Do i have to put the poly motor mounts in as well or maybe just shim it differently because it did come with a couple shims. Any input would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

There is 2 humps on the poly tranny mount.. Some people have had luck grinding those down flat.

I gave up on the Poly mount but Im going to try that next

I didnt like the Poly vibrations, went back to stock rubber, and it broke again in 4 months.

its normal to get vibrations from poly mounts, they should go away after a week or so, also make sure the nuts are tight, because the bolts are facing down, the nuts are more likely to loosen themselves

needs to be broken in, give it a few hundred miles and it will be minimal after that.

I shimmed my crossmember down about 1/4-1/2 of an inch with my energy trans mount. I don't have any vibration with it now.
