What's the benefit's to a poly tranny mount ? Hi there what is the benefit to a poly urathane transmission mount over the stock ?
I had one on my 1994 A4 and just felt like it put the power to the floor better and i stopped breaking them. Do you guys run these mount's ?

The consensus around here is that the stocker is quiet, but a piece of crap and the poly mount is noisy, but well made.
The 1LE mount was preferred by quite a few people, but it isn't available any more. We need someone to make a higher durometer rubber mount for us performance guys.

How long was it in the car? You sure you installed it correctly? Many times people listen too much, and dont give the car time to settle in. Mine was a little loud at first, but quieted down. I think it was more i just got used to it, but it's worth it in my eyes for the more direct feel it gives. I am a little biased though, as all rear components are poly, and i am running poly tranny/TA/motor mounts a well

I did not drive it for more than 20 miles because it was just TOO DARN LOUD. It wasn't even a good sound, it really did sound like a diesel truck. The straw was when I got on it, the car ran like crap from pulling timing out of it I'm sure from the noise. I put the stocker back in and the car is running great again. Sorry, maybe I got a bad mount, maybe the difference in the height (the ES was taller) pushed the engine up where something was hitting and I didn't notice it. Whatever it was, I HATED it!

I purchased part # BK 6201543 from NAPA for $14.95 and it is working great. Had a poly mount for a year and it never got any better on the vibration and noise. This was on a 99 Trans Am with M-6.

Not to say it works that way for everyone but I've seen where a few more people have done that. I'm going to try it for myself anway.
