Transmission mount Just wanting some opinions on energy suspension vs rubber mounts? Also if you know where I can find rubber mounts pretty cheap. WS6store has energy suspension mounts for 23.99, the cheapest rubber mount I've been able to find is 42.99.

I don't have any experience with the ES mount but when I wanted to replace my mount a few years ago everyone said that they vibrate like crazy and only run one if you have polyurethane motor mounts so I went with the rubber one they sell them at autozone maybe advance also you just have to ask for 1993-97 LT1 years they don't sell them for LS1's(atleast back when I relaced mine i dont know about now) but they work just fine alot of people have used them I've had mine for 2+ years with no problems and I think it was only $15 give or take.

I have an ES tranny mount and I installed it with the spacer and it vibrate pretty bad, took the spacer out and it's good! Of course it's stiffer but I don't mind it.

Do Not use a poly tranny mount with rubber engine mounts.
When the engine "torques" in the mounts it puts more pressure on the trans case, at the mount.

I don't doubt that it would take a long time to see any serious negative effects of that set-up...however, it is wiser to avoid it. Better safe than sorry.

Just changed out mine yesterday from ES back to stock after a little over 2 years and 25k. Lot less road vibration at speed but the ES without bumps or plate is the best IMO, but not for a DD

Curious what you ended up doing? Doesn't anyone replace the motor mounts with GM stock parts? I've been searching for the GM part # but haven't been able to locate it yet...
