Default Torn Transmission mount, replacement recommendations?
So my trans started making this awful clunking noise in the tunnel while driving. Jacked the back of the tail shaft up and the mount is torn in half. I plan on buying the torque arm relocation kit. What do you all recommend for the trans mount? OEM?

I personally like the Energy suspension poly-urethane transmission mounts, you buy it once and never have to buy another one agian.

I doubt it, because it seems that every new person that joins here, thinks they're the very first person to have this or that particular problem. Therefore, they don't do an effective search in the archives, and instead, bring it up for the 342nd time.......
