Do the Prothane Trans mounts from summit take any fabrication for our cars? part # 7-1604

Re: Trans mount

Never personally used the prothane tranny mount (I've used their motor mounts before) but if it's similar to the energy suspension part, then you will need to slot the hole in the center of the crossmember a bit further so the hole in the tranny mount lines up. Nothing a die grinder or even a drill can't handle.

What year car? Auto or 5-speed?

I've actually been wondering the same thing. I've been through two tranny mounts in the past 20,000 miles. I got some poly motor mounts, and I wanted to go poly for the tranny mount but the only ones listed look like the one your talking about, completely different than the mount for a manual. I called up energy and they told me they don't even have a listing for a 2002 Camaro manual transmission mount. Is anyone running a polyurethane mount on there 5-speed?

And the year? 93-97 are different from 98+ cars.

Re: Trans mount

Looks the same as the one I got in mine now, pretty easy install the is a guide in the HOW TO SECTION, I used that guide and used rubber bushings to fill the 1/2" gap so the pinion angle on the drive shaft stays at zero. Work great for me I just did bushings on the 1 side that would raise it to the correct angle. The drilling the new hole was easy just mark it and drill or cut. I havea nice pic on my Cardomain site , I will be going with a black one here soon since I like the black better and it is a different design, might not have to use the rubber bushings.

If you use the cross member from a Auto V8 (93-97), you get rid of the 1/2" drop and don't need the spacers.

Re: Trans mount

I actually have a crossmember I bought for this , but I didn't read the writeup correctly and can't use it becuase mine is a M5 originaly and swapped in the A4 so it won't work for me , so I do have a extra V8 LT1 A4 crossmember, good point , I forgot about that Robert, I would rather have the crossmember than do the bushings , myself.

Re: Trans mount

Are you just using sway bar link bushings to fill the gap? Thx guys.
