Default who sells polyurathane trans mounts? A4

I busted the transmission mount doing a burn out, swaped it out for a autoparts one it lasted 2 weeks. I need to upgrade to a polyurathane and I was thinking about solid motor mounts. I have done a couple a searches including ebay but have been unsuccessfull at finding any for 97 LT1 trans am a4. Please if someone has a link thanks

Get the Prothane 3-point kit (2 poly motor mounts and tranny mount).
That's the kit I'm using on the convertible (not that that's meaningful).

When you change the mount, the car will vibrate like crazy, but its just the mount once its broken in, it will not do it so much. That or maybe I just got use to it.

Mine didn't vibrate too bad after they were installed. I did notice they broke in a little after some time.

I only switched the trans mount so that may of helped since the engine could still move freely from the softer mounts.

The transmount is not bad at all...get a small jack, put under trans, take out cross member, undue mount, put new mount in, done. It is not bad at all. The motor mounts on the other hand were complete crap with the motor in the car. The drivers side isn't too bad, the passenger side has the a/c unit right next to it, it takes some ingenuity to get it out. If you buy the gm ones, they come inside of the clam shells due to the mount is inside of two halves of metal that are riveted together.

When I put my poly mounts in, all of the rivets had to be drilled out of the clamshells, and then I put the poly mount in, and tightened down the two halves when they went into the car. To drill the rivets out, I used my uncles drill press, worked very well, otherwise I do not know how you would get them out. I was also lucky when doing the motor mounts, he owns an auto shop so we had a rack to hoist the car on...otherwise I probably would not have done the mounts myself...and it would have been alot of money.
