OK, I just installed the AGP Dogbones,well worth the money. Now I was looking into the trans mount. Is it as easy as the dogbones?

 

it was a little harder than the dogbones but not much. i did all three mounts at once and the job took me about 1 hr 45 mins i think. i installed them almost two years ago though so im not sure how long it really took.

 

it's not hard but it's not as easy as the other mounts. if your tranny mount isn't giving you a problem leave it alone....

 

Is there any vibration effects with the dogbones or not? Also is thereany with the Trans mount with vibrations?

 

you will notice increased vibration with dogbones. how much you notice seems to be an individual thing. some people thing it's really bad, others barely notice. it's more about your tolerances than anything. the most noticable is the whine of the power steering when the wheel is locked and the a/c when you turn it on.

 

BENIFITS OF IT? I would think a better launch..correct?

And...In the past Ihave had a 2004 Cavalier with the lower(dogbone) and upper mounts in place on the 2.2 Ecotec...good heavens what a vibrating rattletrap!!!!! If it anything like that, forget it, unless the benefits are far greater...

The air-conditioning turned on was a true experince...think a plane hovering on the edge of the sound barrier...terrible!

 

the only benefit that the trans mount seems to be that you're less likely to miss a gear. other than that there are no real benefits to changing it, which is why most people leave it alone.

 

im sure its come up before, but is the added vibration throughout the car detrimental to the car in any way long term? you would think it would work stuff loose much quicker with the added vibration

 

tHATS WHAT CONCERNS ME!!!! ^^^^ If the benefits outweight the risks...

This concerns both the motor and the trans mounts!

 

Thanks for the imput. I think I will just leave it alone. Until it gives me problems.
