Codes from OTTP Rotated mounts?
Rodimus,
Send me pics of your install please to Sean@ottperformance.com
A easier way is to just email me or pm me about the issue you are having so i could diagnose it.

dainslaif what a bogus POS this statement is, you know your car??? If it is a redline it has an external VSS a fixed bracket to the block off the intermediate shaft, with a fixed air gap to a toothed wheel on the intermediate shaft which is locked into a fixed position between the out put shaft of the trans and the bracket on the block at which point the pass side axle inserts into it. The angle of the drieve train is changed? Like a Grand Am racing Cobalt? Heck You can turn the frickin motor UPSIDE DOWN it dont make any difference to that vss, BUT rodimus has a cobalt it has an internal VSS off the diff ring gear. Your statement is so silly I am surprised you didnt read what you wrote. The angle of the drivetrain has ZERO NADA ZIP to do with the VSS. What a joke. You are the dickrider.wOW. I thought you knew something about cars a bright guy. I was wrong.
At least Sean is being responsible and offered to look into the situation. Props to him for that.

i've had the stage 2 rotated mounts on since monday night.... i have a SLIGHT!!! vibe, no where near as much as the TTR poly bushings & engine mount gave me.... i'm assuming you still have the TTR engine mount in, which would be the explanation for the vibes your having. solution.... put the stock engine mount in. i kid you not when i say.... i have no wheel hop and the vibes are minimul compared to the TTR stuff.

Did you miss the part where I said it was probably just a loose connection to the sensor? I love how you sling insults and completely ignore my statement and fail to explain what could possibly be happening. And then people say you made a save? What a ******* joke.

No i didnt miss the part where you said it was probably a loose connection, and as most of the intelligent people here had pointed out already its is likely something Rodimus did on the install , not the mounts. But in the meantime your post was largely about you explaining something about driveline angle that is totally and completely WRONG, and you calling people dickriders. (this is not an insult?) Dainslaif you have blown your credibility, and trying to back door things dont work either. Good luck. And yes Sean is consistently responsive to reasonable folks, as is Josh. I dont find you reasonable at all.
Frankly, Rod's been around a while and I'd be kinda surprised if he messed up the install. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt - it's a shame you think your customers are too ignorant to install something as simple as trans mounts.
My credibility is just fine, unlike a certain Canadian who thought an engine with a boost leak was most certainly blown.

You might be surprised to know that out of the many customers who have installed these more than i can count on two hands have installed them wrong. It is something easy to install no doubt, but its something that is easy to mess up as well.
Matt,
Once you get under there if you could get me the pics i would appreciate it.

Hmm, could you explain how some of them were installed wrong? I guess it could happen, I just don't know how. (that's what I get for starting a night shift job I guess)
Installing all spacers on one mount, installing with no spacers, in proper tq specs to name a few. Not everyone is a pro at the stuff thats why there is a forum to ask questions and customer service on our end and powell's
Yeah i would imagine so but it has been done before so i don't discount anything from happening becuase a mistake is a easy thing to make. Heck i make them all the time everyone does its only human.

I have full bwoody mounts and the steering wheel shakes horribly with the a/c on idling and accelerating from a low rpm the whole interior rattles.

I guess it's possible. *shrug*
On the subject - it might not be a bad idea to include a simple instructional sheet telling people how to do the install, considering it has happened a number of times.

i found this thread kinda funny.
for the simple fact that the problem that the op claims to have caused by the mounts is the EXACT SAME problem that the mounts cured for me.
on my custom-snazzy steel mounts, on cold start with the built engine, i would trip a missfire code.
i contributed this to the larger ring gap / blow by tripping the event time-out, thus the code.
however, with the mounts, and the far fewer vibes, its gone.
not that surprised as the knock sensor is used in event timeing.

Ok so just a random little update here. I got the stage 2 rotated tranny mounts from ottp installed the other day, along with there stage 1 axles. Anyways the car does have SLIGHT vibrations at idle, you can feel it in the steering wheel etc but its NOTHING that would rattle/shake a pop can out of the holder. Also, I do NOT have a cel. I am sorry mate but mounts do NOT cause cel's unless something was improperly installed. I have driven about 100 miles with the mounts so far and the vibrations really don't bother me, they are ever so slight and really can only be felt while idling.
I haven't tried getting on the car hard yet by any means because I still need to break in the new clutch however do NOT let these slight vibrations steer you away from buying these. Seriously the vibrations can just barely be felt. I haven't tried it with the a/c on and don't really plan to because it doesn't get that that hot here and I have a sunroof for a reason lol.
Hopefully my 2 cents has helped to shed some light onto this situation.

I think that the current 60lb injector tune im using is causing a rough idle which is giving the impression that the mounts are producing more vibes. Because of the fact its sounding cammed it makes everything shake, however when its idling smoothly the vibes are less noticeable but still considerably more than a completely stock setup.
Upon further research the P0503 code can be caused by increased rpms in relation to speed, in other words wheel spin, rough roads are also listed as a cause of this code, the fact I'm also out of alignment im sure is coming into play also.
