Installed a Energy suspension tranny mount along with a BMR torque arm and now I'm getting a loud obnoxious rattle coming from the shifter / shifter linkage in the center console.

Is this a common problem, or is something wrong? If it's not wrong, is there a way to remedy the rattle and keep using the poly mount?

Your asking for trouble with poly trans mounts.

Agreed, get rid of the poly trans mount and go back to the stock one. Best thing ive done to my car yet was taking the poly trans mount off for a stock one

and I cant tell any difference between this one and the stock one. No rattles or anything.

I had a similar issue with my poly trans mount, put in a new OEM rubber mount 10x better.

I'm using one because I already had it and its fine but Energy Suspension told me not to use it. If you're having issues take it off!

Yeah I haven't felt a difference in the car besides the damn rattle... a new rubber mount is only 10 bucks... screw it!

Thanks for the help guys

Did you put that preload plate in that they give you with the mount? I noticed more vibrations with that in. I took it out and it wasn't bad at all anymore and haven't broke one in years compared to the stocker twice a year.

Yeah I originally had the plate installed, the rattle was horrible, then I removed the plate and the rattle was still very prominent. I have my center console taken apart too so I can see where it's coming from, it's a plastic piece that pivots on the bottom of the shifter and is plastic-on-metal. Since it needs to be able to move there really isn't anything I can do to silence it.... Bummer.

Mine did the same thing, the shifter came loose. Tightened it up and no problems since.

What kind of rubber mount is this that you speak of for $10, and where can I find one? The only one I seem to be able to find at NAPA is $94, or $71 at Advance & O'Reilly's shown here http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/se...aro&vi=1303524.

I got mine at Autozone for $17 but they seem to be out of stock right noe. Advance has them for $60 I think.

I just got mine from the NAPA warehouse down the road from me... brand new OE style rubber mount, it was $10 with tax.

^^^ Thanks for that. If my Poly one rattles badly, (still in the box ) I'll pick one of these up.

No problem Looking at the mount I just bought the quality is great too. Can't go wrong for 10 bucks. Hell, even if I end up tearing it to pieces next summer it takes 10 minutes to change and costs next to nothing lol.

I hear stories of guys tearing through trans mounts like paper.. is this mostly on high powered manual trans cars or the autos too? I've never had a problem with any of my camaros so far, but I haven't really gotten to beat the **** out of this one yet.
