Default Installed Prothane Mount

This morning I had time to get it done, the old one didnt look like it was torn but it just held for ****. The tranny moved and flexed all the time. When I took the car for a test drive, what a HUGE difference!! The power transfer is quick and snappy..I can finally put some power to the wheels. The only thing now I can feel the engine more under my feet. You can hear more vibrations due to the stiffness of the mount. Personally I dont mind just feels like the car is alive and breathing. Makes me want to go prothane mount crazy on the motor mounts and the torque arm...Now if they were both as easy as the tanny one.

Engine mounts suck, but definately worth it. I am looking into the tranny mount.

The shifter moves a lil more now in neutral cuz the motor mounts arent prothane and the cam makes the engine lope, I imagine that by getting the motor mounts done it will shake less to nothing. But as far as it moving move a little or stiff under acceleration...Its definitely stiff and solid no deflection the power transfers to the wheels more efficiently..and thats a great thing!!!!!!
