Default LT1 Trans. mount?

I have replaced my transmission mount because mine was torn so I replaced it with a eurothane one and can't stand it anymore. I have to go back to stock but I thought I read somewhere on here to put in a LS1 mount instead..... Is this true and is it a direct bolt in??

any mount other than a performance one is going to do about the same. either you can deal with the vibration or change it more often... sorry bro! ive run both auto parts stores and GM on my car, seems to be the GM held up a bit better, but i dont know if it was worth the price difference

Really? Hmm, my poly trans mount didn't do that... but I bet you have tired motor mounts....

Poly trans mount is a great idea, but I prefer to also use a poly torque arm mount.

As for runner trans mounts, NAPA MAY have a better line than Autozone/Advance, or the like, but pretty much all of them are Anchor brand... and cost about double what a poly mount does. The dealer is not any better quality (probably made by Anchor too) just costs more. My opinion.

i personally like my poly mount. $20 at autozone. it was a little annoying at first but i think after a couple days of driving it lossens up a little and the vibrations aren't so bad. perfectly bearable for me, i rarely remember its there

I had the poly mount on the car for about 5 mins of driving, then went to Autozone and got a lifetime warranty mount and have only had to change it once in the last 5 yrs. Guess i've been lucky.
