nice more options.
.. anything going to be done about the transmission of vibrations through the solid mounts???
solid mount are great and all but vibs are the whole reason my RC51 MM are sitting on the shelf
haha i stand corrected.. only problem with the aftermarket mounts are that they dont include a positive lock like the OEM designs..its all poly and when that fails you got nothing.. with tha being said im running MM that dont have a positive lock so ill just STFU now hahah

With the oem failed tranny mount when I went over speed bumps I could feel my shifter rise in my hand, then the the tranny would clunk back down.
I have UUC now, but plan on switching it out to a Creative steel grey mount.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, But what does it feel like when the mount comes apart such as yours? Is the motor bouncing around and clunking? Just want the heads up to pay attention to mine as I bought and installed mine a few months ago.

Also, the CS trans mount supposedly has a fail safe similar to the OEM mount in case of failure. Personally, I had the UUC trans mount and I threw it in the trash and learned a long time ago UUC is a joke. I run the RC51 mounts with the stock trans mount and even with a loppy cam it's really not bad! I know they are much better than failed OEM mounts lol

If someone can get me some dimensions on the RC51 mounts, P/N's for the bushing used, or if someone has some on the shelf, I have a buddy that can fab some up, and get a price to see if he's willing to make another run of them.
I can coordinate this effort as well.

Trust me. Replace the tranny mount while your at it. Takes twenty minutes. If the tranny mount is worn/damaged/separated, it will allow the motor to deflect even more. You have give somewhere allowing your motor to deflect and separate your drivers side mount.
Bad workmanship- possibility YES!
But do you want to replace MM and tranny again wh you find out it's not a workmanship issue?
It's up to you. The Internet is full of tons of good info, and twice as much bad. You have to think logically on your own, because it's your car and your money. Just look at the big picture. Two failed UUC!?
Tranny and vibes - I have CS mm and tranny, no excess vibes here. Anyone else?

this whole mount issue is weird...some have failures and some dont. be it the stockers, UUC, or CS. some have melted and some are doing fine.
my stockers were shot after 33k on the clock. so, rather then getting stockers replace under warranty (since a lot of had issue doing that with a modded car), i replaced them with UUC at the recommendation of my shop. i now have almost 10k miles on them, with no issues. i am running Kooks LTs with Jet Hot 1700 Coating and the MM have header wrap and heat sheilds with them.
OP, sorry to here about the bad luck. hope you get her back up soon with no other problems

I made my own. The factory mount was trashed. Too weak of a design in my opinion.
At the same time I filled the factory trans mount. I will say that the filled oem trans mount transfers more internal transmission gear noise to the cabin. It could totally be contributed to the fact that is 94 hardness rubber.

Structurally, the RC51, UMI, and the PFADT designs are pretty much the same. The PFADT are really nice looking.
"RC51"
PFADT, $250
Looking at the UUC abortion of a design, it's just a matter of time until they fail. I'd hate to be the guy hitting the throttle hard after apexing a turn then to have the motor rip the mount. Or, Id hate to be the guy driving behind him/her. Just say'n.
