Default transmission bushing help

i did a transmission bushing in my trans am and its a 6speed, now i hear a lot more rattle and vibration on takeoff and through the rpm's. is this just because of the polyurethane bushing not absorbing the "noise" as well as the rubber one? i got the bmr bushing and i see that is has like zero movement, would this cause other problems because i see the stock can flex some, or should it just be fine. someone please let me know because this is just worrying me thanks

They do make noise, but the bushings work great (if you can handle the noise). I wouldn't worry about it. Hope that helps, good luck.

yeah...you will get extra noise but within a week you will not even notice it.....

getting a new shifter is 2 or 3 times worse.....gear noise....vibration......blah blah blah....a whole list....but even that you get used to in about 2 to 3 weeks......

when you change ANYTHING!!! you will notice it for a while. You get used to how that car was (even if it sucked) and then the new is "WOW...whats going on here!?!?!"
