New Rotated Trans Mounts
you are missing the whole point of these mounts, it's to reduce wheelhop, less vibes is just an added bonus.

Why do you sell the Poly ones if you are so against them? If you dont think they work, why do you offer them?
mann reading>> you .. they never said poly mounts done work.. they just said they're not the best way to do it .. and they started offering them before they started selling the new mounts

This is the last time I will ask you nicely. If you have a question about our rotated mounts thats fine, but if you post up one more question about poly vs. ours I will have your posts removed. The poly vs. rotated has already been covered.

yes it's true roush did bolt it straight to the frame without and sort of softening compound, i don't think i could live with a DD like that myself.
i have the stage 3 kit installed, and my shifts aren't sloppy to say the least. the stage 3 limits the movement considerably. but at the same time i don't have half the vibes i did with the poli mounts. another thing about the poli mounts is after a while the bushing in the center becomes loose and this will later lead to the motor and tranny moving side to side a bit, i had this problem myself. when i took off the poli mounts the spacer was even loose, and the tranny mounts were resting against the section they bolt to. this will in time lead to a lot of grinding noises on accel and decel. and i can't even imagine the possible damage it did to the hub bearings and seals.

I misstated what I meant, so I'll explain. The shifting itself isn't sloppy, the clutch engagement is. For comparison, when I was stock, and put the car into 2nd and 3rd gear, when I would let off the clutch and get on the gas, the car would kind of bog down at first before going. I actually thought it was a bad clutch at first, but when I put transmission poly mounts on, this problem went away completely. As far as I can figure, the transmission would rock a bit during engagement and not deliver power properly. Even tilted, going back to stock style trans mounts should reintroduce that clutch engagement slop.
Did you post that anywhere or take any pics? You're the first person I've ever heard of having problems like that, and I'm surprised you didn't post a thread about it anywhere if those things fail that badly.
That's what she said!
Obviously I'm not suggesting bolting the engine to the frame. That would be horrible as a DD.

Okay - I think I want these...
1st time ever taking my car to the track - broke an axle. Been through several more axles since, and though they weren't victims of wheel hop per se, I can't imagine that the retarded factory axle angle on the CV's is HELPING anything, lol.
What's the cost including core, if those aren't complete charges? I cannot afford downtime in my DD.
The question regarding lowered cars was never answered. Any thought of offering an adjustable spacer to increase/decrease the tilt for lowered cars?
And will you look into offering a poly version? Wheelhop issues aside, the difference in shifting betwen my car and on with poly's was far moer drastic than it was with stock mounts vs poly in my SC2 - and it was huge in the SC2, lol. I wantz my shifts back!
