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.

Obviously I'm not suggesting bolting the engine to the frame. That would be horrible as a DD.

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.

if my wife hasen't allready sent the cores back, i'll try and get her to take pics of the center bushing and how loose it is. i thought i just had another bad transmission so i never posted. now that the noise has gone away and i got underneath the car to swap mounts i know what caused it.

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!
