I recently installed an aftermarket TA, but I can't stand the way the car rides. Combine that with the extra noises I'm hearing now because of the solid mounts, my car is no longer comfortable to drive daily.
What causes the stock one to bend? At the track, I don't dump the clutch so I don't know if that's what causes the factory ones to bend.

The factory units are just poorly made and flex under launch or hard acceleration but to answer your original question you can retain your factory TA but you should remove it from the transmission housing. The full length aftermarkets pretty much maintain the same ride manners and remove the flex allowing a better transfer of torque and the tunnel mounted units move your vehicle center back applying more downward force than the full length.I think you need to provide more information about your car and someone on here will be able to help you figure out what is causing your drive-ability issues. I'm by no means an expert but this is my understanding and I hope it helps

The 6 speed cars tend to shock the suspension and drivetrain quite a bit more than the automatic cars. I have seen stock 6 speed cars break and mangle factory torque arms. If the cars is modded and making more power than what it came with from the factory I would stick with the aftermarket torque arm and even consider going with a torque arm relocation crossmember to get the torque arm off the tailshaft housing.

I am not sure what you mean by "bucking". There will definitely be more transfer of noise due to the torque arm mounting directly to the chassis. When exactly does the "bucking" happen and under what driving conditions?

Well the bucking is more a product of cam surge. With the stock torque arm setup, it isn't felt because it slides. With this setup, everything is bolted solidly to the body so the surge is felt a bit more. I'm really in need of a proper tune to hopefully get rid of this issue.

what causes it to bend? a 1.65 60' with a m6. i only had allseasons on my car and broke mine on the street, it was all mangled like terminator 2 when the cop terminator was blown apart by the shotgun.
but yeah you put solid motor mounts on a DD what did you expect?
