Aftermath of Broken Transmission Mount
Aftermath of Broken Transmission Mount
Well, here's the pics of my broken tranny mount, you may have heard about it from my other thread.
Without further Adoo, the pics:

Well, I ended up paying $200 dollars to have the dealer replace it. Also, I was lucky to find out that there was no further damage to the engine or transmission as a result. On the bright side, Cobalt Performance Parts has agreed to start development on Poly Mounts for us 2.2 and 2.4 Automatics, which Vendors don't like to show too much love for.
When the Poly Mounts come out I will make sure to get one and test it out for you guys. In the meantime, I suggest checking out CPP, they're a great Vendor!

you are younger correct? you need your parents for this type of stuff, possibly even a friends father ( as in high power people). they see kids and try to blow you off...its the dealerships too, not GM.

Wow, I never looked at the stock mount to really see what a weak part it looks like. There's really not a whole lot of metal around the bushing, I wonder how much more it would have cost GM to make the thickness of that rib the full width to increase the strength of that portion since it's obviously the weak point of the mount?
