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!

I have cheapy replacements from rockauto, they've held up fine in my autocross only car for 2 seasons and I expect them to be fine for a while longer.

Are your factory mounts falling apart?

Don't know, didn't check them. Jeff and I figured that since the trans mount needs to be done, the old adage of "When in Rome..." applies here.

But in doing some research, the motor mounts sound like they are a bitch to access. Sounds like the AC Compressor and the starter need to come off.

What was your experience?
