zzp rotated trans mounts vs ottp
so which is better and why? I have ottp right now, dash vibrates when I start driving. I heard zzp doesn't do that. but other than that is there any difference? would it be a good idea to switch over to zzp or just stay with ottp
I have a Powell front mount with an LNF rear mount and I don't think it's that bad. Definately noticable when idling and whenever you rev it out of gear (think downshifts you can feel it rev). I wouldn't go from OTTP to ZZP though because the OTTP mounts are rotated and the ZZP mounts aren't. Really the best mounts are the Powell ones though.

ZZP's mounts aren't rotated they are just stiffer bushings so if they're the softest they sell the softest aftermarket bushings that go in the factory location. Don't get me wrong I love ZZP's products but their mounts aren't worth a damn.
i have zzp mounts and there definitely worth a damn, stock mounts feel like the engine is spinning underneath the hood. zzp mounts stop the engine from moving around as much, makes shifting so much nicer.
But their so called rotated mounts aren't which is why they are the lesser of the mounts out there. Yes they still help but ones that cost just as much from Powell are going to be better since they are rotated and stiffer.
and ya i dont know why zzp calls theirs rotated =\
I think he's installed lots of them, he did mine as well as control arms at the same time.
I meant that they are stiffer than stock didn't mean vs ZZP, I'll edit it (too late for thinking). They are probably about the same for stiffness.

How old are the mounts? How did you torque them down?

2 years. Did then in proper sequence with motor mount loose. But I had a new engine put in since so Gm installed them second time. They just shake the dash when starting to move in first gear for a second. It not a big deal. They always did it.
Ok well you will want to loosen all the engine and trans mounts and torque them in sequence. Also check your rubber bushings in the mounts, the style bushing you have will fail if not installed correctly. We have changed to a different bushing since you purchased and it is an upgrade from what you currently have.
