Default Quick Ploy Mount Question

Hey, I replaced my tranny mount on my M6 with a poly. Should I replace the motor mounts with poly also? A guy at work says that the motor will have more ability to flex than the tranny now with the solid poly on the tranny. Could it put some extra stress on the tranny if the motor torques up and the tranny stays solid? Thanks for any info.

Ive never heard of this. Theres plenty of people that have had poly tranny mounts without the motor mouts and have had no problems. Ive had the poly mount on my tranny for 2+ years (was on there when I bought it) and havent had any problems.

I just put a poly ES one on, and it vibrates a lot around 50mph then gets better but still virates a lot at high speeds. So be prepared for massive vibrations over stock. This was on a M6 car, on the auto car it wasnt nearly as bad.
