Default UMI Performance Motor Mounts

Just installed these today. What a big difference!!! Shifts better (even reverse), idles better and I dont feel any difference (maybe b/c my mounts were shot and dont know what a good one feels like). Took me 3 hours to install.

My oem mounts looked good from the bottom but they were shot.

And you can use the factory heat shield!!!

I would recommend these to anyone. Great product UMI!!!!!


Sorry no pics.

Shot us an e-mail to sales@umiperformance.com with your name or order #. We got slammed with our Christmas sale and these are in production now but we got behind a bit.

Thanks everyone!

How do your mounts hold up with the cs trans mount. I'm having shifting troubles and I don't think the cs mm's are holding up with the power my car is making. I think a more solid mount would work better for less engine movement. But I just wana make sure the height of the cs trans mount is ok with ur mm

These motor mounts are easy to change if the motor and k member are off the car right? or is it harder? Thanks Justin

I wonder how much HP you lose when motor mounts are shot. The car feels like it does have more power and it also feels like it has better response when i press the gas.

They still look fine. I'd say about 18-20k. But I just don't think they are strong enough

My factory mounts had 65k on them. I havent seen them yet so I cant say how bad they are. I may get them today.

I had problems shifting into second and third. After seeing so many complaints about difficulty shifting with bad mounts, I'm eager to see how it effects the car. To me, its hard to believe that bad motor mounts can cause so many issues!!

My car has 18K and shifts like crap. I sure hope none of the bushings are already worn.

It's not suprising if they have already.

I would be surprised if the motor mounts are really whats causing your issue. I had OEM motor mounts (destroyed when i removed them) after putting on the maggie and never had any issue shifting at WOT.

Do these mounts result in any cabin drone? My car has UUC motor mounts (yellow ones) installed and the drone in the cabin is ridiculous (very loud and has given me headaches) - kind of sounds like an exhaust leak and you only hear it when in (any) gear and accelerating.
