needing a new trans mount? Im needing a new trans mount for the SS. I was wanting some input as to the aftermarket mounts. Energy Suspension or Prothane?

aftermarket mounts are much stiffer than oem and, in most cases, transmit tons of vibration and noise into the cabin. some people say they loosen up after a while and its not so bad, others say that it remains terrible. i say go oem and save the trouble.

isn't energy suspension just a company...prothane being the material they use....but anyways I have a prothane tranny mount and initially it'll ridiculously transfer all the vibrations to the car...but after a week or two you won't even notice it and it'll feel stock. It's one of those parts ppl consider 1 part towards race car 1 part less of a daily driver...but I really don't see vibrations being a problem unless you're pushing upwards to 500hp+......like if you have a BBC stroker w/ a lopey cam you'll feel the difference without a doubt. I say just do it.

No energy and prothane are both brands and they are both made out of polyurethane. I've been running a energy suspension mount for 3 years with no problems it did vibrate a little more but nothing major
