BMR tranny mount??

I'm thinking of getting BMR's LCA's from their website, they look like a good unit. While I was visiting, I saw BMR sells the Prothane tranny mounts. I have a , in gear/no load vibration that I think is because my OEM mount is shot. Has anyone used this Prothane? Is it the right size to keep all the angles right with the tranny/DS? If you use or know of anyone who has it on, please let me know how it is working out.
Thanks.

I use the poly mount that summit sell for $20. Works great. I think it's Energy Suspension...

Did you know that summit stopped selling the energy suspension tranny mount (poly) because of some issues they've had with them? I was in to the store up here in Reno a few months back looking for one and they pretty much just said "sorry too many complaints." Thought that was interesting.

Well, I just got mine a couple of weeks ago, so it may have been another brand. I know I had a choice of black or red and got black. There are only a few brands of polymounts out there as far as I know. What were the complaints? Other than a rough ride...

Mine is the Energy suspension. I just found the decals that I didn't use...

Not sure what exactly they were, but I was up there trying to convince the guy otherwise, he just wouldn't have it. The rough ride was pretty much it, I think. I don't think the tranny mount is unique for a '97 so it woudn't be a year difference. Interesting that they are reselling it. Maybe they recalled, fixed and have it back out again?

Well, if the people who were complaining about rough ride had gone through 3 stock ones like I did, they would be happy with the ride. I hated the sound the torn stock mount would make when you punched it. Sounded like a 10lb sledge hitting the floorboard...

My problem is a sort of vibration when cruising in a no load situation. But, it probably has something to do with header clearance. Anyway, the Prothane is probably the same as the Energ. Susp., right? It doesn't look much different. Any input?
Thanks
