Yep, thats what I got. A bunch of people told me that it would vibrate quite a bit, but i have noticed almost no difference. Besides if my tranny is vibrating bad, I wanna know about it, lol.

Haha, I know the sound. It's almost gut-dropping the first time you hear it. I thought I really messed something up. You'd notice that sound no doubt. I'd just get under there and check out the mount visually. Even if its not bad, you can't go wrong for ~$20. Definately not going to hurt it, but I'm sure this would fix it.

I miss my energy one Going from a broken one to an energy is quite amazing. Not just the "well it's not broken anymore!" but they are so much tighter than the standards.

Here's what a broken one looks like LOL
Feeling a "bang" against the floor when you step on it is generally a pretty good sign yours is toast.
Pretty easy to replace though. 15 min with handtools and a floorjack.

The other option is to use an LS1-style mount, they're a little tougher than the old ones.
