Default Well my 02 finally broke
after having the car for more than a year now ive never heard of or owned an f body to be absolutely trouble free. from the clutch to the engine to the differential, well the day has finally come

my tranny mount finally broke in 2

just knocking on wood nothing else happens.

23 dollars and 15 mintues later its fixed.

Yeah my car's been great for the most part besides the ICM (twice), two coils, the camshaft position sensor, the MAF, the ashtray lid, the power antenna, the LCD backlight on my radio, the corroded taillight reflector, and the drivers side window motor (twice, needs to be replaced AGAIN), not to mention the normal close-interval replacement items like brakes, plugs, wires, O2 sensors, headlights, taillights, blinker fluid, etc...

Very good. When you do your headers, make sure to go with poly motor mounts too.

I've installed poly motor mounts on two cars during header installs, and there where no extra vibrations whatsoever. Plus, if you go cammed one day, it will stop the engine from rocking like crazy once the rubber mounts become aged...just ask Jose.
