I need some help figuring out the easiest way to replace the trans mount on my 96 trans am A4. Under any more than 1/4 throttle the driveshaft smacks the bottom of the car under acceleration. From what I've read its probably a broken/worn trans mount.

Does anyone know of a step by step diagram of how to do this? Also does it make sense for it to be the trans mount?

Thanks in advance

 

yea it is common to break on those cars. its pretty simple jack the trans up unbolt the mount and replace it. im not sure on the 4th gens but you might have to pull the crossmember and if thats the case its only 4 bolts. i would recommend an energy suspension for i havent broke mine yet.

 

Pretty straitforward
Support tranny, remove crossmember, replace mount, reinstall crossmember.
I've broken a few

LT1 process is almost 100% the same.

 

thanks...I figured it wouldnt be too hard, but I like to know exactly what Im getting myself into before I start a project.

 

that is very wise,grasshopper...

i have gone to make a few mods without knowing what im getting into. its not pretty...good looking out

 

Thats exactly how you do it!! I broke mine 2 months ago along with the motor mount!!!

 

Get an Energy Suspension Poly one. You'll never go through another tranny mount again.

 

As have I. Not on this car, and I want to keep it that way...it sucks being stuck in the middle of something because you dont know exactly what you're doing. I just ordered the energy suspension trans mount so hopefully it'll be going on the car this weekend! Hopefully this fixes the problem cuz I'm tired of seeing the car sit...

 

It took about 10 minutes to do. Its not too bad.

 

yea 10-15 min.. when I had the A4 I went through 4 of them

 

ya with the m6 conversion im doing a poly the first time, i figure these cars with the M6 would tear'm up more since well you can get really rough with a M6.. not saying a built auto cant tear it up

 

Im on my second. I was in a hurry and couldnt get a prothane one so Im waiting for this one to go to ****.
