What do you guys think of this homemade tranny mount option?

So I have a poly one in my car, vibration of it is lame.

i have a cracked 1LE not broken in 2 pieces jsut the one side.


I was thinking of reinstalling the broken 1LE but maybe wrapping it tightly in some sort of steel cable, something thin, from the top of the mount all the way down around the crossmember.

Thought is, it would be like having a rubber mount stock and driving, but when you got on it hard it woudl be a near solid mount. sort of the best of bot worlds.

Haven't looked into it but hey, I am stuck in my apartment due to doctor's orders and I like to think up wierd free sh|t.


That, and I coudl do it for free.

haven't looked into the logistics of ti much but just some thoughts, what do you guys think.

Yeah yeah... I know. Just figured I'd get the best of both worlds and save $38.85 and risk breaking it again. I prefer to spend more money racing my car then fixing it.
