Default Transmission Mount...

Hey, does anyone know where to get the OEM style transmission mount for a 2000 Trans AM with an A4? I did the poly swap and am not a fan of the added vibration, and am having a hard time finding the original style rubber mount. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!

The dealer.

I put a poly mount in mine and swapped it out for a factory one. I tried Pepboys, Napa, Advance and none of them even carried it, which was surprising. I got mine from a place called factory parts. They are a local parts shop our dealership uses that carry OEM parts at a reduced price.

Thanks for the replies. I can't even find an internet parts company that stocks the OEM style! I might have to try a few Napa stores, I just checked with one, maybe different ones will have different service levels....

Autozone SHOULD have one that works. It's an anchor mount, put it in my car about a year ago, and so far so good. costs all of maybe $13 tops. so if it breaks, f*ck it, it's cheap

the vibration can be from the driveshaft angle being changed my poly mount was 3/4 in. taller made alot of vibration and will tear up ujoints some maybe closer to stock and not make vibrations a poly mount should not be noticable unless angles changed

you would be able to get a gm one from gmpartsdirect or partstaxi for less than the dealer. their shipping is sometimes high though.

Napa carries the mount locally here for a V6 F-body. are the mounts the same?
