The bushing seems way too big for the bracket. But Im double checking with summit and it says it will fit 1993 - 2002 Camaros. WTF is up with this?

you have to grind off the old mounting plates for the old rubber mount. Grind off the bubbles and punch it out

well if you would have done it yourself... you probably would have saved around a 100$
40$ for oil&fiter
40$ for window motor....not hard to replace.
15-20$ for coolant

Did you get the torque arm bushing figured out? You have to drill out 4 total rivets that hold the rubber pieces in the stock clamshell...2 on each side. The rubber is bonded to some small pieces of metal, and the rivets hold the metal in place. With those out of the way, the mount will fit with no issues. As for the labor...it was probably about right for the time involved to do all of that. Window motors, if you haven't done them before or in a while, take a little while to replace.

easy way is to totally remove the torque arm and slide it out of the bushing, then unbolt the clampshell from the trans and then take the rivets out.
