Haha, it's all good man

Yep, no slop with my setup.

I used to have an Ingalls, and while it did tighten up the feel of the car (over stock), it doesnt even compare to the gmpp mounts alone, or a Powell s1 rotated mount and rear gmpp mount combo.

 

I put in my ottp stage 1 yesterday... feels amazing .... the vibes are guna take some getting used to tho lol. Im going to order the lnf rear tranny mount and put that in next. Thanks for all the great advice guys.

 

^^cool lemme know how the install goes on the rear mount.... i'm not sure how to do that, gonna have to jack up the whip and take a looksie, staged07ss, got any pointers on that?

i think u just gotta jack up the car and support the engine like the front tranny mount but idk what else would/could be involved

 

Follow the GMPP instructions (trans mount installation section only) for their wheel hop kit....

That's what I did

Also, remember to support the engine like you did while installing the rotated mount. Along with, loosening the 3 upper engine mount bolts & tightening back to spec (37 ft-lbs).

 

^^awesome!!! now i'm def. sold

goodbye, engine slop!

yea no prob. if i get it installed before ya ill let ya know how it goes lol .

 

sounds good shoot me a pm when you do or post on here

this could also help to eliminate that awful back and forth engine crap in 1st gear i bet... you all know what i'm talking about. the bucking bronco effect

 

learning how to drive stick helps to

haha

 

haha i mean i don't suffer from that issue anymore but u know once in a while when i'm creeping through a parking lot lol

 

I knw exactly what your saying... people always say learn how to drive... umm it has nothing to do with the clutch if u just pus the gass then jus let off it bucks and if u hit it before it calms doown ur head smacks the headrest and ur riding a bull lmao

 

I was just ball bustin....

 

hahahaha so you know what we r talking about too lmao

 

haha its probly the reason my ottp mount gave out :/ hopefully gonna replace that bushing today, can't wait to see how it feels after that

 

Well, yes & no....

My car was touchy when it was stock, but I didn't have as much movement/slop as you guys are expressing.

The upgraded trans mounts def made shifting a dream, and took away slop.

 

OK thought i'd update this thread.

so i replaced my front trans mount bushing (the ottp one still) and then i got rid of the stage2 plate in the rear and replaced the whole mount with the gmpp/lnf rear one.

well all this did nothing for me the engine still moves around WAY too much, to the point where in 1st gear and 2nd u can hear a seldon clunk or click noise. say i'm cruising in 2nd going like 20 and let off the gas - you feel like the engines bouncing back and forth and i ******* HATE IT!!!!

so i just now ordered a ttr upper engine mount... ttr SAYS it will not allow the engine to move more than .050" so i think that might just solve my issue we'll see. either way i'm expecting horrific vibrations, especiailly when i have the a/c on but it should be worth it for a much better, planted feeling driving experience.

thoughts? i'll reupdate once i do that mount.

 

I had the same issue. I did TTR upper, Powell stage one, and bought a new OEM rear mount (installed WITH powell stage one plate) AND problem solved

 

they say that the soild mount is nooo good lol ... cuz there is a mount on one side and not the other .. good luck tho

 

well nizzle said it solved his problem and nizzle don't play games

sooo well see, i think i should have it tomorrow **shrugs** i'll re-update friday i guess.

 

I went to the track a few weeks ago, launched hard with only an Ingalls, and broke an axle. Since then I have installed OTTP trans mounts, Powell CAB's, and DSS axles. I left the Ingalls on out of laziness, but so far the combo seems to have taken care of the engine shifting / bucking you describe.

 

its wierd some people have said similar things i'm just guessing my engine mounts shot from driving and letting it buck around so much

 

y not replace with new stock engine mount ???

 

Do you get much vibrations from running the front Powell Stage 1 rotated mount?

(I upgraded my SS/SC mounts to SS/TC mounts and recently added an Ingalls Torque Damper to help with some of the excessive engine movement)

 

LOL, just to be clear, I did not have any solid mounts.
