broken tranny mount
I ordered my energy suspension tranny mount awhile back and its held up fine, but im pretty sure if you run down to your local auto store they will have them. Or you can get them from energy suspensions website for like $25. Part #3-1108R. Your local auto store might try to tell you it wont fit, but it slips right in.

Yep, its a very common problem with 6 spd cars. I also broke a total of 4. The first three were cheap autozone pieces, I finally paid the extra buck and got a factory replacement from the dealer and has held up for over a year after about ten visits to the track. I was thinking about a polyurethane piece but heard that a lot of vibration travels though the shifter.

1. put jack under trans so it doesn't drop down, if you don't it will drop down an inch or 2
2. remove (1) bolt in center of crossmember to loosen broken trans mount
3.remove crossmember (4 bolts)
4. remove old tranny mount
5. If u get the energy suspension one remember to have the curved part of the tranny mount to the rear of the vehicle and use the extra plate they give you
6. put it all back together
Sidenote
-check crossmember for cracks... common areas are around the bolt areas....
-only thing i had to modify was the center area on the crossmember had to drill it 1/8 inch on one side to get the mounting bolt to fit right.
-I did this in maybe an hour tops..... longest part was getting the car off the ground.. once its off the ground maybe 30 min disassembly and reassembly

well when i shift my car from park to drive theres a vibration,and sometimes when im at cruising speed and the car downshifts or i break theres a vibration,under normal driving conditions its not noticeable,could this be the mount?? tranny going bad?
It is easy to to check for a broken tranny mount, if you can get under the car with a flashlight. Also, you would notice a banging under the center console under hard shifts. A minor amount of vibration might indicate that you already have a poly tranny mount installed.
