I have an Energy Poly Tranny Mount.. Works and fit very well, Im pleased with it. They make good products.

You can pass on the tranny mount.. Only real reason to replace it is when it breaks.

If you go with the entire energy bushing kit, you are going to be in for a rough ride. I have seen a-arms break and other suspension pieces fail due to the almost too firm ride. Some poly bushings are good, just do not go too crazy installing them everywhere.

Ok well heres the thing... i think the tranny mount and the engine mounts are shot... engine moves A LOT! and the stick in the car moves A LOT! the bushings under the car are shot... they are all crackin and falling apart. also i am getting new shocks and stuff because they are shot 2.... im getting that package from summit...

I personally have Poly mounts for the motor mounts and the tranny mount. Alot of people do not like the vibration that a poly tranny mount transmits through the shifter. The shifter will actually vibrate in your hand. It does provide a much firmer feel though.

The motor mounts are really not that bad. I just put them in there when I did my header install because I heard too many stories of the headers hitting the floor boards under acceleration due to bad motor mounts. Once again, not too bad of a change but it was a change.

Whenever you start replacing suspension rubber bushings with poly, you are going to start realizing a big difference. They will last much longer and will handle better, but are also not as forgiving and put parts through more stress. You trade off one thing for another.
