Default Performance Transmission Mounts for Your 04-06 GTO Are Now Available @ Hinson




The Hinson Motorsports performance urethane GTO trans mounts are here! After a long wait the M6 mounts are finally available. They feature the same stainless steel interlocking design as our engine mounts, and are a perfect match to the urethane. The design of this mount will resolve all of the torque over in the shifter for you manual guys, and also help deliver the power through your driveline. Pick one up today on our site and pair it with our engine mounts for the ultimate performance driveline. Click the link below for additional information and purchasing.

How is the bolt access? It looks like the overhang makes it difficult to thread the bolts into the trans.

Seems tight, I'm sure a open/boxed end deal should work out.

If you look at the additional pictures on our site you will see there is no overhang to disrupt installing the bolt on that side. Bolt drops directly in from the top without issue.

It makes a huge difference in the feel of the car. It has performed flawlessly thus far.

I believe it.. Looks solid. What's nvh like compared to the other mounts out there? I'll likely grab one as soon as I have a reason to go into the driveline.

The urethane is similar to our engine mounts.

You will pick up a little vibration, but it is minor and doesn't compare to the throttle response, and shift precision that you gain.

Cool. Sounds no worse than windo-weld mod. Except, looks much more solid.

O no, no comparison to window weld mod. I took out my window weld mount when I started testing this one, the solid feel is drastically better with our mount than anything else I have ever tried. I am very happy with mine.

I'm sure there will be more vibration than normal but after it is broken in it will go away just like the engine mounts.

Will there be a Trans/Motor Mount package deal?

I'm in the market to upgrade, but at $380 for both seems a little pricey for me...

This is correct. The trans mount does behave a lot like the engine mounts over time.

At this time they are sold individually. Bottom line is quality race car parts cost money to build where they will last and perform like the market expects them too. Therefore the items just cost what they cost. At the end of the day there is now a good transmission mount solution that is going to perform and last, which is what we have all been wanting for years as GTO owner.

I'm sure it's the most durable mount on the market from what I can tell. It's got the best design for sure. I'm not mad at the price...unique, high end stuff calls for a premium and I can understand that.

I'm in the market for a shifter now, yours is very appealing...lol. I'd have to get use to the different feel to make that kind of switch.

The feedback is appreciated as well as your opinion. We have spoke on a few occasions about the shifter. I say you need one
