You should get the trans ones too...because if you don't...one month later you will be back at square one.

Well the engine still has to move, and honestly the trans bushings take most of the movement/abuse.


Your stockers will get worn out and have no support.

It is just like if you you go trans bushings, and solid upper...eventually the a-arm bushings will wear out(at a much slower pace than if you just went with the solid upper) and cause tomfoolery.

Agree, I have had mine for over a year now and not one problem. Who said you have to have both in?

Exactly the same.

Our trans bushings are not the same as on the F23 though...I dunno what a stock SS/SC bushing looks like.

ive heard that using the poly mounts on the tranny cause the mounts to break off the F35 casing since the material is weak

False info, The stock castings are strong enough, 1 or 2 installed them incorrectly and when they pressed them in they cracked it, if you do it correctly and press them in square, you will never have an issue.

The Turbo Tech Racing Solid mount has been rated #1 on the forums for years... Best one out there, as members have had other mounts and then switched to the TTR and stated it is hands down the best out there (took us over a year in R&D to design this, making sure it was the best)

The tranny ones, most likely.... IMO they dont offer anything to benifit... If they did we would manufacture them. The ZZP are aluminum machined mount housings, the stock ones are cast steel.... Stock are more than strong enough. All that matters is the material in side the mount is stiffer for less movement.

The prothane inserts are just as good (SEMA product of the year a year or two back). Just cost a lot more for the ZZP.

"If you make that to stiff with your kind of power you can say bye bye to the tranny. The tranny needs to move and flex a bit, trust me."

Thats what ive been told and I can understand it to some point any other opinions on this?
