Author Topic: transmission mount Hungry Hippo ¯ Member # 537 posted                              mine seems a little soft, should i get a stock replacement or a polyurethane? i have stock motor mounts and dont plan to change those yet. i heard that a urethane tranny mount with stock motor mounts can cause vibration or damage to the tranny. anyone ever try it? -------------------- 05 S4 Avant(wagon) 09 C6 H/C/I Posts: 2959 | From: east bay | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : Stimson _ Member # 51 posted                              People have gone well into the 10's and probably into the 9's with the stock tranny mounts just fine Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : Hungry Hippo ¯ Member # 537 posted                              i guess i'll just buy a stock replacement. reason i ask is my driveshaft seems to be scraping the body more and more lately Posts: 2959 | From: east bay | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : Gear Head JARED Member # 779 posted                              Check your rear pinion stubber. -------------------- Support our troops!

The reason you shouldnt have stock rubber motor-mounts and a poly trans-mount is that the motor-mount will let the motor move but the poly-mount holds the trany still...This cuases a lot of stress on the bellhousing and sometimes cracks it....If your motor mounts are still good it shouldnt be a problem.... I have had no problems with my trany(caused by the trany mount)...I just got to learn not to power-shift 3rd gear.. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  :
