Stiff motor mounts

Well looks like I'm going to need to replace my torn transmissions mount. I plan on getting stiffer motor mounts like a 60a. So far I've only found them from innovate. Are their any other options for stiff mounts besides filling the stock mounts with silicone/urethane.

Innovates is a little pricy just looking to see my options. Thanks!

Innovative is the only game in town, however I can get you J's racing engine mounts.

They are a hard rubber rather than a urethane type.

Any info/links on the j's racing mounts?

Is there anyone here who's used them and has any feedback?

fwiw, i used windowweld on mine, with ample drying time, and they're doing great...

and cheaper too...

Finally decided I'm just going to fill the mounts. Any tips on the best way to fill the right side engine mount?

the passenger side? iirc i believe that's the vertical mount...

i didn't fill that one... i did the lower rear, driver's upper, and forward transmission mount... those three were plenty for me...

if you were to want to stiffen up the pass side mount, you'd need to create a jig of sorts to mold the urethane into more of a cylinder shape...


i can't express this enough - give them LOTS of time to cure...

I replaced my mounts with a cheap china one from Amazon, for 100.00 they work but there is more vibration in the car than before so I guess I need to buy the factory tooooo expensive motor mounts

That's what you get for buying cheap alternatives. Never go cheap with any cars because you'll regret it next time. Why not get innovation motor mounts?

SO I've made up my mind and im just going to fill my motor mounts with wino-weld, starting with the rear transmission mount. Does anybody have a the rear trans mount that I can borrow so I dont need to have my car down for a few days to let the compound dry?!?!
