Installed these transmission mounts, it's a night a day difference on the launch. Car takes off like it's in rails. Got rid of all the wheel hop and the 1st to 2nd shift is so smooth. Totally worth the money.

Thats a great price for them. Well worth it.

I was going to do the poured in Urethane method/mod on the OEM. Just never got around to it.

Ha! It’s my wife stuff... she’s a personal trainer... yes she has a 6 pack.. no I do not...

That box is getting wrapped up and put under the tree... so I won’t be getting around to it until probably after the 1st of the year.

Got mine in yesterday and installed em today in my garage. Pretty straight forward install. Definitely can launch a bit harder now. Absolutely excited to see what the car can do now. 1-2 shift is just so nonchalant now. The car just seems so tame instead of violent now. Noticeable NVH while cruising, but it's absolutely not bad.

Did you have to adjust the left one at all? Not really seeing why it would be designed like that if not

Just slightly to line up the holes. I am curious if you could tighten it up to increase tension on the trans would be my only reason for it to be adjustable, but I just got it to fit then locked it down.

Update on the mounts.

Pros: Can launch at higher rpms with no issue. 1-2 shift has total traction now. Shifts are crisp and without issue.

Cons: Slightly more vibration around and under 2k. Slight vibration while cruising.

Overall: Absolutely an improvement and is still dailyable... Going to have to get brad to up my shifts now! Ha! The stock mounts are absolutely abysmal and you can move the mount pretty easily just by hand. Wonder what it looked like with 500ft lbs on them. Crazy.

LoL! I had polyurethane mounts put on another car I had awhile back. Pretty much the same, the shifts were nice and firm but you felt much more of the engine vibrations through the cabin.

As far as stock mounts... there as was a YouTube video of someone moving them back and forth by hand.. pretty interesting.

Upgrading the mounts are awesome for sure, glad you are enjoying it.

I feel like sixty foot will absolutely show improvement over the stock mounts. The car is just so consistent now it would be interesting to find out. My best 60' before was a 1.7X so would be amazing if a 1.6X was possible now.

Proves there is room for old-school tech in these new tech cars yet.  Imagine what it could do for EV's!

I was just messing around with the stock mounts and it's crazy how much movement you can get out of them just fiddling with them by hand. They have the hardness of a big eraser...

One way to hide the weaker NVH design of the powertrain.  More hydraulic mounts in action.  One thing to isolate the passengers from the NVH, another thing entirely to build blueprinted, balanced setups in the first place.
