What do u mean its shaking? its doing so at idle? its doing it when revving it? The stock mounts are designed to keep vibrations from coming into the car...there for they isolate the motor from the body...meaning the motor has to move in its mounts to keep vibration from being felt in the car.

Mounts will reduce movement of the motor at idle and while revving but will increase the vibrations felt in the cab...a broke mount will make banging and clunking noises under accel and decel...movement at idle and when revving without moving does not equal broke mounts.

well, it just seemed to move more than normally. ive never had broke mounts before so i dont know the effects. I would benefit from new tranny and upper engine mount either way though.

On my stock mounts i get alot of cabin vibes, if i look at my passenger seatbelt when sitting idle, it hangs there and shakes very bad.

And the upper mount, ****...it is the same on all of em.


The worst vibe you get is at startup, and from a dead stop, that is IT...anyone who complains about vibes needs to blow the sand dune out of their vagina...seriously

It will not vibrate less...it will vibrate more...my car with neutrals, solid metal upper, and intense trans mounts will make u think ur riding in electric buzzer...on the bright side...girls love it

i mean EVERYTHING in the car vibrates and rattles...granted i probably have the most extreme mount setup of anyone and neutrals

Intense trans mounts are the same thing as a poly insert on the stock mounts.

You vibe more because of the neutral balance shaft deletes

Automatics use a different style upper mount, we will be designing and manufacturing one, as soon as we can get the dimensional specs of the stock one
