Thumbs up Just Installed BWoody Solid Front Trans Mount, and...

WOW!!!! I can't believe the difference. The car feels so much more solid than before. I'll say, that it is a feel that you either would totally like or totally dislike, as it is a bit harsh. I personally love the feel, and it honestly reminds me of my buddies M3 under hard acceleration. I also have the Ingalls TD, so that helps tighten it up, too. If you're not too into the vibration thing, I would certainly suggest poly mounts, but I LOVE this thing.

I have ZZP's front tranny mount and the vibes where a bit harsh at first but it didn't bother me. Now that it softened up, I don't even notice that I have it.

I've got BWoody's engine and front trans mounts... I love it!

You get used to the vibes... and the way they put down the power is crazy. I laid on it in 1st yesterday in the parking lot... put down a good 20 feet of rubber... zero hop.

I also really like the way it smooths out the 1-2 shift. No more jerking or bucking... it just burns rubber and moves.

Thanks for chiming in. I wanted to get the full set, its either Bwoody or TTR complete set.

With the TTR upper and Prothane tranny inserts, everyone we have talked to state ALL the wheel hop is gone.

From what I've seen and heard both the TTR and BWoody mounts will do the job equally well... which you get is merely a matter of personal preference.

Exactly, personal preference on what you like best.

We would think if you are having this with the OEM mount, aftermarket will be worse.

There was a software update from GM awhile back that dealt with that. What year is yours?

I have the TTR trans mounts in now. Car almost no wheel hop. I had 0 wheel hop till last night, but it was like nothing before. I think the TTR Motor mount + Trans bushing might have been 2 of my fav mods!

It's the stage 2 tune... my car does it too... though I rarely ever use the A/C. I believe if you take it to the dealer and whine about it they have a fix. One of our club members was having this issue, got a reflash, and isn't having the problem anymore.

It dosen't bother me enough to get anything done about it... so meh.

If the guy with the 2.2L posted complaints about the motor vibrating a lot, surely a stiffer mount would help keep the motor from rocking...

However, those rocking vibrations move to the dash and the cabin of the car... which he might also be referring to, in which aftermarket would make much worse.
