Factory motor/tranny mounts gone

[FATHERFORD]

If you haven't done this yet, do it. I replaced with woodhouse mounts and Big Brake Dave's tranny mount and billet cross member.

No more clanking from the header hitting the frame, smoother running car, more positive shifts(haven't missed a shift yet). Wondering why I didn't do this sooner.

Drive side is split all the way around the bottom and some other places. The passenger side as you can see is all twisted up.

Drove it a bit this week. To bad I have to give it back to Nitro Dave because one of the gauges is apparently *****.

Here's my driver side mount. Can't imagine what the car is going to drive like now. Still modding...

Welcome to the club! I think we need special avatars for the "Broken Mount Club".

I agree. I don't know any one that has checked/changed their OEM motor or trans. mounts that didn't find them broken. Most people don't know until they check them. Mine were broken and it made a big difference after changing them. This is especially true for guys with the big torque of forced induction. The solid mounts make the car "feel" much better. IMHO

That one pictured above from my car - looked great when it was still installed. Visual inspection means squat.

True in your case. I figured something was wrong with mine when I looked up under the engine and saw that both mounts were twisted kinda like a really bad wedgie.

The same with mine. The mounts looked good until I removed them. Mine were very similar to yours.

I don't mysteriously miss third gear for no reason anymore either...

Well bet I had better order a set for the GT2 the passenger side clanking of the headers is driving me nuts too.

When is the last time you drove that hunk of junk dodge?

I know when I hopped in mine it was a wake up call with the heat.

Last time I drove it 70's was the high. 30 degrees difference made the viper seem like a "dog"
