Post Tranny Mount enforcer installation

Just installed stiffer transmission mounts and bushings from UUC Motorsports http://www.uucmotorwerks.com . Completely removes any transmission movement generated by high rpm shifts. Works VERY well.

DrKevM5, What are the mounts made from? Urethane? Is there noticeably more noise and vibration resonating through the cabin?
TIA,
Oak

Quite the contrary. There is much less vibration, no noise. It is made out of a very stiff rubber compound. BTW, I finally made it over 1200 mi. so I can attest to the lack of vibration with shifts in anger!!

DrKevM5-- It will be interesting to see how well the clutch survives this loss of drive train compliance. Periodically inspect for stress fractures on the new mounts, particularly during cold weather. If they are urethane, grease (white lithium) will keep them from squeaking.
