Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
Get car up on jackstands, jack the tranny up some, undo four bolts that hold cross piece on, remove/replace mount, redo bolts, lower tranny, tighten bolts, take off jackstands,enjoy a frosty beverage
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
Perfect
Sounds simple!
Ill probalby need a few frosty beverages as I'm doing a few other things under the car too (PHB adjustment, 35mm Front swaybar, endlinks etc).

Javier 97. Your picture does not make any sense. The one on the left is for another cross menber by the large difference in height, is it not. The one on the right looks like the correct height for an Auto trans for a 93-97 LT1 F-body. I have a 1LE trans mount,and mine does not look like the one on the left. What gives. Thanks.

i pretty sure the stocker sit just the way it does in the picture. they rubber rips itself form the metal . but im pretty sure thats where it sits. really crappy design.
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
Your correct Javier. I looked at my 1LE which I purchased from SLP app 7 years ago, and it is similar to the picture on the left. I could not find my old standard mount. It was not broke when I replaced it. Your old mount must have colapsed. Thanks.
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
i went through a few trans mounts myself, then i finally postead about it and ended up goin with the LS1 style mount. it seems to be a lot better, havent broken it yet anyway and it seems to feel sturdier than the original did even when it was new *shrug* but be warned if u change from the old style to the ls1 style.. i found out the hard way while i had mine apart and nothin else to drive that the nut for the ls1 mount is a M12x1.75.. quite a bit bigger than the one for the old style. save urself some problems and get it before u get under the car lol. wish ilda been warned
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
Recieved the mount today.. It looks just like the one on the left of the picture. I'll try and post what my stock one looks like, I think my mounts fully torn off because of how easily it'll bang under the car now :O
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
Which did you buy 1LE or LS1? I just bought a LS1 mount from Dal its going in tomorrow. Doesnt look like either, I'll get some picks maybe. My stocker tore the first week I got 3.73's, I love TQ

1LE from jason C. 38$ 
I heard mixed results with the LS1 one.. let us know how it lasts! If this 1LE one breaks within the year ill switch to poly and hopefully the vibes wont be too bad since I already have poly engine mounts

Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
I've heard of people putting hose clamps around the tranny mount to keep it from pulling apart. You might try that on an OEM. I don't have this probably i have an M6 with a Polymount.
Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
I was under the impression that they werent selling 1LE's anymore...damn, I should have saw this thread. My LS1 was $55 from Dal, the GM part store at the dealership here wanted $90+

Re: Trans Mount - Whats the story for A4's?
I'd rather not mess with clamping although now I kinda wish I got a 1LE version. We'll see how it goes. I wouldnt normally spend the money, but after driving around a new lady friend of mine
, I could tell it was somewhat annoying having her seat and floor board shaking violently.
