It is very important to replace motor mounts when making good power, especially with our 15+ year older cars that have worn mounts.
It is a good idea to replace them with stiffer mounts as normal mounts or worn out mounts will cause engine shake, and when it shakes it releases and applies engine load on and off fast. This can cause gear chatter with high load! It like taking an air impact to your gears, not cool.
Just thought id share this to help our commnity a bit as it seems these tranny's can get the best of us! |
At the same time too stiff of mounts can cause faster wear on parts. The engine needs to flex sometimes to make it easier on the drivetrain and other components. Too stiff of mounts like solid mounts can cause issues. The car i have now is running full poly mounts, i am not sure i would ever do full solid mounts unless it is a race car where i need every ounce of power to go directly to the drivetrain. However, i do agree with you in the respect that bad mounts especially front and rear can be horrible on the drivetrain and other components more than mounts that are too stiff.
