So, I installed a TRZ tranny mount this weekend, in addition to the corksport RMM inserts (test driven between each install). The TRZ mount is super harsh. Much worse than i was anticipating. and I've got a fairly loud and obnoxious 2! I made a slight modification to the TRZ mount, as when you bolt it up, the transmission perch bolts tight to metal, thereby negating the entire purpose of the urethane bushing. So I slipped an additional Grade 8 washer between the rubber and the perch so it's tight on the bushing and not the steel plate.
At any rate, its still rather harsh, but I've noticed two things now aside from that, the first of which is that I think it's actually made my turning torque steer way worse. If I pull hard in a straight line, it's pretty solid, but if the wheel is over beyond a slow lane change, it almost grabs the wheel out of my hands. Anyone else have this issue?
Possible I misaligned something when I did the install? Could I have a blown passenger mount thats thrown things off? Should i have done all three mounts or at least the passenger and tranny mount together?
I'd swear the car feels slower now too, but I'm sure thats all in my imagination!
As a side question, is there a transmission mount that would sit somewhere between the stock mount and the TRZ mount in terms of stiffness? It doesn't appear the stock mount could be 'filled' but then I didn't examine it too closely.
