My 2001 Z28 6MT is in need of a transmission mount. It sees regular autocross duty now with a mild STP/CAM-C setup. I do not drag race and I haven't been on a road course with it yet, but that may change.
It is driven daily, year-round in NJ. Would an OEM replacement trans mount suffice, or should I install a poly mount? I have a poly torque arm mount and the motor mounts are still OEM rubber in case that matters. What do the experts suggest? Thanks! |

Poly trans mount with rubber engine mounts is fine and what I use. Measure the new and old mounts and use the included shim if needed.

Since we're doing the trans mount, does the motor mount have to be OEM for durability reasons, or is there a trusted OEM aftermarket supplier, such as Moog? |
