Was wondering why ya didn't make it. Tranny mount? Hmmm... you mean the cross member that the tail end of the tranny sits on?? Or, are you breaking the bolt that goes up through the bushing? Sounds weird, get a picture or two. Sorry you didn't make it out. Good thing the meets are like everyweek and then the cruises every month.. there'll be another.

stop takin that **** to the shop. go to autozone, pick up a poly energy suspension mount and take the 20 minutes to DIY and save yourself the $$$$. Very easy to fix if you have a jack and jack stands and a piece of 2x4 to lift the tranny up and move the cross member. 3 bolts and a couple of shims later you are done.
