I put polyurethane engine / transmission mounts in my car... (*1 MISTAKE TO AVOID*)

Показать описание
Today's video is a bit of a cautionary tale about installing or upgrading to stiffer motor and transmission mounts on your street car incorrectly -- I made one critical mistake with the transmission mounts that absolutely RUINED the driving experience of my E36. In this video, I get under the car and try to fix the problem I created. Also, I talk a bit about installing the 80a engine/motor mounts and transmission mounds in Dory the e36, and elaborate BIG mistake I made so that you can avoid it :) If you're thinking about running poly or solid motor and transmission mounts on your car, this video is for you. I talk a bit about the excessive vibration I experienced running these mounts, and how to fix the shaking! To be clear, the noise vibration and harshness were really my fault, so I hope this video is helpful!!

I put 90a motor mounts in my E46 and it wasn't too bad. Went to Garagistic 80a transmission mounts and everything went to shit 😂. Definitely just sent it when I tightened them though, lol. Gonna have to check that out. Thanks for the video

You should look into hardrace mounts, they're rubber but stiffer than factory

Nice job Logie 😹😹. What benefit did you expect with the poly mounts? Kudos for sharing your learnings.

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Poly 85 motor mounts are not in my future. OEM or solid rubber.

I had the same thing going on around 2k rpms from a shot original motor mount... Had to floor it a little to notice though.
Also the vibe/resonance was bad when shifting gear at around 3k

Urethane mounts will always have vibration and give you an uncomfortable ride, regardless of how you tighten the nuts.
If you want a smooth vibration free ride, use OEM style mounts.

is this effect on stock rubber mount transmission? also on the engine mounting?
i've change pairs of engine mount and trans mount and the vibration is suck.

How about mixing motor mounts with poly and stock. Do you foresee any issues with it?

I got Condor VIP mounts (70a) and hated them for this reason. Maybe I'll put them back in and torque them less. I snugged them down to hand tight with a ratchet last time.

I had the exact same experience with my e46. poly motor mounts are pretty bad

How did the poly engine mounts with rubber trans mounts work out? Any better?
