Trany mount replacement causing vibrations. I changed my trany mount cause the old one was worn out. I had a polyurathane and i replaced it with a poly as well. But now there is a weird vibration when i'm turning the car on and it gets even worse as the rpms get high. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe the engine mount needs to be changed now. Or the mechanic didnt put the trany mount on right. Either way i will take it back tomorrow I just thought someone might have an idea. Thanks

Exactly^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm constantly suprised when people run out and replace their stock rubber tranny mount and engine mounts with Poly versions and then complain about the vibration - what did you think would happen?
Most of the time the poly mounts aren't even needed - they just install because others are doing it. I still have the stock ORIGINAL factory tranny/motor mounts in my TA with the HP/TQ in my sig and no problems - no vibration either.
Less deflection=more vibration/noise imparted thru out car
You can't have a stiffer handling car and expect it to ride like a caddy...
Same thing goes for those that complain about noise/vibration after installing the Spohn Tq Arm that utilizes a lever style poly front mount vs the sliding rubber bushing stock front mount.
There is always a trade-off somewhere when installing performance parts. That is why factory uses rubber instead of poly - because the normal buyer would complain about noise/vibration and report that the car is a POS
