ok so like it says, which is a better idea? should i buy new mounts with the polly inserts, or just get the inserts? has anyone put a polly insert in the plastic front trans mount? will it hold up to mild abuse? i have a press to use so that isn't an issue i'm just wondering if the plastic one will hold up really.

 

if you have a ss s/c get the mounts

 

i do not.

so no one with an ls or lt has changed their mounts?

 

auto or manual?

I have an auto and changed my mounts and it made a HUGE difference

 

Get the mounts... I've seen someone who had his stock mounts removed and filled... they were falling apart after 25,000 miles.

 

its a stick...

 

Prothane and the Turbo Tech Racing upper. Filling them does not work very well, and most times crumbles and falls out anyways when you fill them yourself.

 

I have the TTR upper mount, and I must say I love it!

BLKLS; Get real mounts.

07MetallicSC; You take that leaf out the engine bay or what?

 

We have heard time after time, that customers first fill their mounts and the "fill" crumbles and falls out.

 

guys, he has an LS and this mount, I believe, does not fit our models unless you have an Injen intake.

 

I've got and 07 LS with the Prothane inserts on the front plastic mount and the rear metal mount with 8000 miles on them.

Beating the hell out of them for autocross.

Work great, no problems. 50 bucks cant beat it.

I see no reason to do the upper on mine.

 

lol yeah right after you said that i went and checked the car and wtf it was still there! pulled that sucker out, the car pulls so much harder now! lol

the leaf i mean

 

 

I have to disagree. I understand you are just trying to sell product but it's not right to mislead others to do it. If you fill you take your time to clean the mouts so that you get a good bond, filling them will work just fine. You also have to make sure you give them plenty of cure time. I've done it not only on my car, but many of my friends have as well. We've never had a problem.

It's like anything, if you take your time and do it right you will be fine.

 

inserts should be fine...idk about the plastic mount , but its been said to hold up, buy the inserts , if you dont like it or the mount breaks , then get the new mounts and put the poly inserts in them, that way you dont loose any money

 

thanks for the reply's. i have filled mounts on my old car and didn't have any problems but never intended to do that to this car. i think i'm gonna just get inserts its cheeper, if i break it, well then ****, lesson learned

 

14k miles used with drag slicks and road slicks for auto cross, the inserts with the plastic mount are just fine.

 

Real mounts FTW x2

 

i have the solid mounts in my plastic housing and it works just fine and i have 5000 miles on them

 

I've onlt see one plastic mount break and that was from a parking lot stopper that got run over. You'd have to do something really nuts to break it with just engine power. I'd make a farily safe bet you'd bust the clutch first before that mount would go.
