2000 Camaro SS, just installed poly trans mount
As title states, I installed a poly trans mount. An energy suspension 3.1142G to be exact in my A4 ls1 SS.
I read over and over people experienced way too annoying vibration and "it had to come out".
I REALLY do not understand what you guys were talking about. I have absolutely no vibration my old rubber mount did not have?

My thread was formed as a question wondering what the people who said they experienced vibration were talking about, not that they were out and out wrong.

So you think it would not go deeper? Vibration at idle, acceleration, deceleration, cornering?
So what exactly are you confused about? I am confused at your lack of critical thinking about a subject that you are being sarcastic about?

I read a thread where 4 or 5 members were speaking very negatively about "vibration" and saying to avoid the poly trans mount. I am truly interested in why they did and why I experienced no vibration. If people want to sway others to avoid a product is it not fair to be skeptical?

I do know the poly trans mount can totally change the way an F body feels. driven many and it's always easier to relentlessly thrash on the stock trans mounted cars, lol.

Rubber is a great vibration damper and Polyurethane isn't but is still slightly flexible and stronger. Given the vibration that can be transmitted from many points like the engine/transmission/driveshaft/rear end/tires rubber is preferred unless you need the strength and rigidity of Polyurethane mounts. I bought a 72 Monte Carlo one time that had solid motor and trans mounts and couldn't stand it, Changing back to rubber was almost like turning the Monte into a Caddy. That's also the reason I want to run air bags instead of coil springs on one of two old 50's Chevy trucks projects I have, I want it to glide down the highway.

It feels so little different at regular driving. It feels a lot different on hard throttle, and I really like it! It just feels a little more raw. I like my race car to have just enough raw and just enough cruise to make me happy.

Yeah, mine does too when I am cruising at a higher RPM in a lower gear

I have the same poly trans mount in Sara (2001 Z28), and she likes it, I feel vibration @ freeway speed when I hold the shift lever, Sara's suspension is so beefed up and riding on 285x35zr18, that we experience a very harsh ride anyways, nothing like staying stiff going down the road
