hey i was just wondering when im going like 45-50 in 5th and i flor it. the vibes are crazy. nothing will shake off my car will it?

 

You are so low on the RPM's that the motor is not as "balanced" or smooth at that RPM... Dont floor it going that low of RPM in 5th It wont hurt anything, but there really is no point to do that either...

 

i know i dont do it alot im just trying everything. but even if i am doing it theres nothing that could happen right? and it goes away at about 1750. so w.e

 

if anything they're protecting the transmission/axles. at least that's how i look at it.

 

it's probably pretty rough on the engine slugging in 5th gear like that. I would recommend not doing that at all. Just my honest opinion

 

Axles.


The flex has to go SOMEWHERE.

But wheel hopping destroys trannies faster.

Overall the difference would probably be the tranny lasting to 175k miles instead of 176k


If you can wear out gears from normal wear and tear with proper driving...you are something special.

 

tranny number 1.
no driver mod comments either... i know.

 

Good points!

 

any word on those 2.2 auto mounts?

 

i got these installed saturday (well, except for the tranny mount... to hard to get to without a lift. i'll pay someone to do it)

I must say, with the ease of doing these mods, EVERY cobalt should at LEAST have the TTR motor mount. it took 10 minutes to do, and made a HUGE difference. Also, with the poly mounts.. burning the stock ones out made it easy as pie. Get a propane torch and a backyard and you're good to go!

 

still waitin on mine...haven't shipped yet...

 

weird, when did you order?

 

8/5/08 - was told 5 biz days to ship but usually quicker. its been 10 biz days and not a word...was told either last friday or yesterday they would ship....but again no pm or tracking #'s. gettin antsy over here!!

 

that's really weird, TTR is really good about this kind of stuff. i had the tracking number before it was even in FEDEX's system.

 

Sorry we did not get a chance to PM or Email you, we had a bunch of parts come back from Powder coating that were not up to our standard, and we re jected them for the factor of customer satisfaction. They should be back today, and get assembled today... Sorry for the delay, I think about 5 mounts were affected by this.

 

Got mine in the other day got it on yesterday, surprisingly theres hardly any more noticeable vibes, not like a cavalier thats for sure

 

this means i should expect top notch quality right? i think i ordered mine in all black if i remember correctly. and i got all three mounts.

 

The engine I think is getting more "refined" and does not have the internal vibs...

Always, we dont let parts go out the door unless they are top notch.

 

that's what i like to hear! honestly, i can expect no less. i've ordered from you before and it's always been a great experience with great products at a great price. look at that, possibly a new slogan.

 

has anyone put there tranny mounts in them selfs and how long did it take you. I should be doing mine today after work

 

Couple of installed photos:




Eventually I'll go find a shop to do my trans mount. Eventually

 

trannys are a bitch you NEED a vice. it took me about...ehhh. ~2 hours for both

 

i have a really big vise so that shouldnt be a problem how is it getting the old ones out

 

actually, you don't need a vice at all. just put a board over the thing and jump on it then smack it with said board until it goes in... took me about 15 minutes and i weigh 125lbs

as said up ahead, set the mounts on fire. it burns the rubber out.

yea, it makes the mount look black as hell, but it's not like anyone will see it

 

not to bad but if you can find like pvc pipe that is larger than the mount you can jsut push it thugh that way. thats how i did it and it came out pretty simply

ROFL!!
