Re: Solid Motor Mounts - Good or Bad?
Solid motor mounts, a torque restraint, and a polyurethane transmission mount, is the ideal setup, if you're not allowed motorplates. And even with motor plates, front and mid, I use a polyurethane transmission mount, never a solid.

Re: Solid Motor Mounts - Good or Bad?
Used solid mounts and a rubber trans mount for the better part of the 17 years and over 4000 passes I made with this nearly 2 ton ride, without issue. I would never used a solid trans mount.

Re: Solid Motor Mounts - Good or Bad?
Just wondering, why do they even make a solid tranny mount? I don't know anyone the uses one and everyone will tell you to never use one unless you enjoy broken cases.

Re: Solid Motor Mounts - Good or Bad?
Circle track guys use them. And people you can't tell anything will try them, then wonder why they're having problems.

Full Chassis cars with 2x3 frames rails. Both of our cars had solid trans mounts and never busted or cracked anything.

Re: Solid Motor Mounts - Good or Bad?
I've even heard that using a poly trans mount can cause broken extension housings. Was advised to use a stock rubber mount. This was in a small block Mopar A-Body.
