Need quick answers...T5 mounts???

Mad Horse · 04-11-2001, 10:39 PM

Hey guys.. I need some quick help here before I install the clutch this weekend. I decided to go ahead and replace my trans. mounts and the cross member bushings too. Here's the question: If I get solid motor mounts down the road will I need solid trans. mounts to go with it or can I go with the polyurethane ones?? I know if you get solid trans mounts you are supposed to use solid motor mounts too or you will have leakage....but is it ok to have solid motor mounts with non solid trans. mounts?? What do you guys recommend I do.. I want to order them tonight or tom. so give me some knowledge.

Also should I replace the pilot bearing while I'm at it?? I have 62K miles on the car.

People on here have said that it is better to have one of the mounts be rubber. Alot have solid motor mounts and rubber tranny mount.

Whatever type motor mounts you go with, use the same type transmission mount. My understanding is that solid mounts are pretty much for the strip or track only and not much fun on a daily driver. By all means, install a new pilot bearing and replace the stock aluminum bearing retainer with a steel one.
