Default r/t is acting funnny

ok

so my front motor mount was shot, torn through
so i bought a set of polyurathane ones from modern
and i installed all 3

now sometimes, i have SO MUCH WHEEL HOP, i freak out, i wanna drive the f%$#ing car off a cliff

wtf, arent motor mounts supposed to STOP wheel hop?

it usally only does it if its been driving all day, then i pak it and drive it again after sitting for about an hour
and when it rains

im stumped and frustrated


EDIT***********

also, when the rpms go beyond 3500
my heat kicks on full blast no matter what temp/pressure i have it set to
kinda cool this winter, but its getting hotter
and its not gonna be so cool anymore, pardon the literalness(sp?)

help....?

that would cause SEVERE wheel hop?

there is, looks like an alumium bracket, connects bottom of engine to bottom of tranny, then goes up a little.
that piece has 4 bolts, there is a split in front of one of the bolts, but it still feels stable. complete seperation of this alumiun plate.

and the heat issue?

your talking about the plate on the very bottom of the motor....looks almost like a skid plate...
2 bolts on the tranny and 2 bolts on the oil pan hold it on...
no, that shouldnt effect your wheel hop.....i took mine off long ago
