Passenger Side Motor Mount broke (PMM), Need advise and part numbers

:
MS3 GT
So on saturday i went up to New England dragway, Had some great runs (wet track, limited us to only running 1/8th miles) But on my 13th or 14th run I think i broke my motor mount, because i took a few more runs, my launches were s*** and it sounded a bit different. So below is what i found.

So as you can see the PMM, failed on me and the aluminum on the bracket snapped from around the stud.

The issue is one of the studs is also bent it appears, and i am concerned about how that will effect the repair.

Can Anyone tell me what the part# or what to call what is pictured below.

I think i will need to replace that piece.



I also would like recommendations on replacement PMM, I am considering:

-Topspeed PMM from Darkstar Motorsports, and later PTP trans mount
or
-SU PMM + Trans mount



Cliffnotes:
-PMM broke at track with street tires
-Need part number of item depicted in red box
-Want recommendation of PMM


I will be ordering tonight or early tommorow morning as i need these parts by the weekend.

thanks
 
1. Did you engine fall?
2. go to this site and they have a list of all the prices part numbers and images of the oem parts. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214264
3. Any pmm are better than the stock ones but try to find one that also replaces the bracket.

this is what happened to my tranny motor mount bracket I would recommend the ptp that I just ordered because it replaces the bracket and the trans mount. But they are on backorder so i would recommend ordering them asap.
The street unit mounts and any mounts are better than the stock mounts but the street unit trans mount does not replace the bracket that is made out of low quality aluminium.
5. if you find more info on which pmm is best please let me know thanks

WOW I've never seen the bracket fail like that before, that's nuts.

Yea the bracket is a piece of crap. It might have just been a bad piece but it definitely should have not passed the quality control inspection. Inside the fracture there is lots of porosity in the metal.
 
Jmont,
Did you notice a rattle noise when accelerating from a stand still before the mount failed? Any weird knocking/rattling noises at all?
