It may still break. It is a faulty design in the f-bods suspension. The torque arm is attached to the back of the tranny. When you floor your car, the rear-end wants to rotate opposite of the direction of the rear tires. When the rear does this the torque arms pulls up HARD on the back of the transmission. The only thing holding it in place is a 2" piece of rubber, they call the tranny mount. The only 100% cure for this is to get a crossmember that moves the torque arm off of the tail of the transmission.

B+M makes one, I believe BMR does as well.

Same here. Broke 2 stockers and put the energy mount on and never looked back.

unless ur making some big power id just stick to the universal energy suspension mount, its only 20 bucks, and ive never broke one and i know people with boost making some decent numbers still running them without ever breaking. and advance and autozone both have them on the sheves. i went though 9 stock mounts before switching to the energy suspension one.

I have that^^^^ but the UMI pc.
I always end up taking out the energy suspension mount, vibrated the car like crazy. Thinking about adding one on this car and try it again for the 4th time.
