I think I am going to get the Solid transmission mount from TTR.
I got an upper mount from TTR and I like it.
Would I see much gains with it or just a little bit?
I noticed a bit of vibrations, especially on start up, but they went down in time and it's not noticable now.
But the shifts are firmer now then before. Can't say for sure if it's worth the cost though.
What ones are softer the Prothane ones or the Turbo Tech ones? Or what ones are better rather?
That does look nice, but I decided to just go with cams instead.
I have a friend with a shop and he said he will port and polish my head for me and help me port match my intake.
Plus the cams I should be making a little bit more power.
I love my solid mount. There are some extra vibes but I don't mind them. The Shifts are quicker and firmer and with any stiffer or solid mounts, you will get a little extra torque of the bottom. Not a real big gain or anything but a good mod. Cams and a ported head will get you a big gain though.
I am trying to track down a head right now, I want to have it all port and polished and ready to go when I pull my old one off.
I am going to have to go over to J-Bom and find someone close to tune it though.
After installing my mount tonight (and a few other things evil FPR's!) my car seems to be alot smoother in the shifts.. I have B&M shift+ installed.. and before on the stock tranny mount stage I was kinda harsh there was a kick from 1st to 2nd.. now its smooth.. Firmer by miles but it dosent feel like its self destructing.. Even Stage II felt firm but not destructive.. you feel the shifts but its not a *BANG* 2nd gear *BANG 3rd gear.. its AWESOME!!
and as for the vibrations.. i dont get any.. before with the AC on my dash did the whole make like a blur at idle... now with the mount its solid.. its like stock almost im not kidding..
I dont know if it was my car having to re learn its fuel mess but you hear the engine and tranny in the frame more..
Overall just having it on for a couple hours now im very satisfied with the price and product. Installations was kind of a pain but with the final product i give it a 10/10.
Thanks for your review!
