So I bought the front trans mount for my 2.2L, on the website(s) it says it fits ALL manual transmission Cobalts. WRONG!! The mounting on my 2.2L coupe is completely different...... unless I am missing somthing..... anyone installed this mount yet??? am I missing somthing?? lol


I'll take pics to add to this thread in a bit also to show you all exactly what I am talking about....

 

Is this the ZZP mount? Take some pictures and I'll try and help if it is the ZZP mount!

 

The new (and good lookin) ZZP poly mount:


The stock mount:


Anyone else see a problem here?? lol

 

I can't tell from the angle but see the hole right below your top bolt mount? Will the ZZp mount line up with that and is there a spot above it where it may line up? I am going out to see if I have the holes for your mount.

 

It almost looks like it would bolt up at the bottom, at the hole you mentioned..., but there still would be nowhere to bolt it on the top. And, the hole for the bolts would have to be threaded (from what i can tell) which that hole is not....

thanks for checking for me too btw

 

Yeah, your mount just looks straight up different. Contact ZZP. They have really good customer service and I am sure they can help.

 

Yeah I have that hole too and it is not used by the mount. Something is different.

 

man..., I actually got the mount from www.cobalt-addiction.com , but its made by ZZP..., (I didn't realize when I was buying that ZZP is right here in MI) Cobalt-addiction is based out of NY.

I hope cobalt-addiction will take it back... or exchange for the rear trans mount if it would fit....

 

by the way patathSS , do you have a 05 or a 06?? I wonder if that's the difference....

 

I have an 05.

 

hmm , me2, but your mount is completely different huh? so it looks like the ZZP mount would line up and fit on your car?

Edit: I see you have a SS/SC tho too.

 

Anyone else? anyone have pics of their front trans mount area?

 

Wow, that's not even close. Is that perhaps one of the other mounts and it got mis-labeled as a front one?

 

That is definately the ZPP front trans mount.

Sorry, I was out for a bit. Yes that is the front mount. I have it on my car and I love it. My stock mount looks like a C and it mounts just like the ZZP.

 

DOH! I wonder if the rear trans mount will mount up on my cobalt. I need a mod to do, lol.

Thanks for the replys,

 

Get under the car and take a picture of your rear mount. Also, I would still contact ZZP and let them know it doesn't fit. They are probably completely unaware.

 

Yea, I already emailed ZZP, maybe they can tell me what happened too...

Looks like the rear mount will bolt up, b/c there is 3 bolts under the car for the rear trans mount

Bottom view trans mount bolts:


Top view of rear trans mount stock:


Anyone know for sure?

 

Yeah it looks like the rear would probably fit.

 

you guys know www.torqueforward.com sells the complete urethane kits,rear bars and engine dampeners,the quality of the products is outstanding and its all at really really good prices

 

uhh, don't really see anything on their site that would do me any good. Unless they would sell a rear poly filled trans mount seperately, looks like most of their stuff is for the SS too.

they need to talk to someone about a website upgrade/development also < no offence to them, just my opinion.

 

yeah the guy who does their site sux,but pm me and ill give you the prices....we are doing my car soon

 

HAve you pulled your front mount off yet? I wonder if you could use the intense poly inserts in your front and rear mount. Just wonder if the front mount has a similar insert as what the SS does.

 

No, but you know what I thought about that, because it looks like the inserts would fit right in.... I'll have to check into that...

 

Here's a picture of my stock mount. It should give you some reference if you pull yours off. Intense and ZZP both have cheap poly inserts that are sold in pairs for transmission mounts. I think they are only like $80 for a set.
