SuperTek Trans mount Questions. worth discomfort?
Just installed the TRD quick shifter, throws are super short but the slight notchiness from before now is somewhat harder.
installing some MTEC springs to fix that problem(feel free to give other opinions/solutions on this matter as well) the dude i had picked those 2 parts from also had supertek solid trans mount support http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/supe...port-1351.html What i was wondering for the supertek mount support..... Install instructions say that all the excess force will be delivered to the drive wheels at the price of comfort. says it can become pathway of vibration and cause the chassis to vibrate and the transmissions to whine at higher loads. says not recommended for street use. while i do drive my car hard, its also my DD. should i even bother installing? has anyone else installed and have comments? should i just installl and see how i like it, risking the need to uninstall? why am i asking so many questions? have you really read this far down? thank you. comments? ![]() ![]() ![]() heres this dope 86 for showing up

I have that insert, the only thing I have noticed was a slightly audible gear whine if you are slow enough that the wind/tire noise doesn't drown it out.
Other than that, I've forgotten I had it installed until I read your post lol

I believe that insert limits the front/back movement of the transmission. there is a thread about the perrin insert (which this looks like) compared to the whiteline bushing and the pros/cons of each. that would a good thread to check out. I'll see if I can find it

I took my mount out and filled it with window urathane. It's much stiffer now, never needs to be greased, and it didn't noticably increase noise or vibration. I've been using this stuff for years to make engine mounts, stiffen engine mounts, fix broken mounts, stiffen chasses, heck everything. Every seem in the rear my 2014 was filled with this stuff & it made the car way quieter. I had no rear deck rattle at all, even with 800 watts and a 10 in the trunk.
