Tranny Mount Broke...again

My tranny mount broke for a second time in six months. Any ideas why this is happening? I replaced it also about 2 years ago.

Guess I should list my car. 94 Z28. Only mods are flowmaster exhaust and intake. I had the tranny rebuilt about a year ago.

Energy Suspensions polyeurethane mount! You'll keep breaking cheap mounts because of the way the torque arm puts load on them. If you get a poly mount, be sure to leave the spacer out, that comes with them, or you'll have an unbearable vibration.

Maybe you should ALSO list your TRANSMISSION??? A4 or M6??

If you've got an A4, I'm almost surprised that you're going through mounts that often . Try upgrading to a stock LS1 mount (they're better than the stock LT1 mount, but won't cause the vibrations that a poly mount will).

With an M6, they're more prone to wear out the stock mounts, but again, try switching to an LS1 mount. The differences between the LT1 / LS1 mounts are visible. I'm still running my factory LS1 mount (although I tried a poly mount for awhile, but couldn't stand the vibes ) and my car has around ~65k on it and I've beat the pi$$ out of it, both at the drag strip and on a road course .
