Take a look at the crossmember mounts to make sure everything is good there too

SignUp Now!Replaced the trans mount and the back of the trans sits about a 1/2" higher. by doing this is added clearance for down by the frame but it also caused the heat shield by the Ac/firewall on the passenger side to rub so bend that up. My son helping me noticed that the down pipe had a melt spot on the rubber coated AC line that runs by the pipe. Currently there is a 3/8" gap, with the car in drive and load up slightly he can almost see them touching. So from this I know the engine is rotating about a 1/2" under load. So does this mean the drivers side motor mount is bad or is this normal. I had the strap unhooked
You should verify your spark timing. Maybe your crank sensor wheel slipped or is wrong. Post #21 on this link.The crazy 52 ESC counts and 20 degrees of RTD is at 15 in 2nd gear. There never is any knock in first gear from a hard launch its once it hits 2 nd or 3rd. getting on it in 2nd or 3rd it only needs 10 lbs and it starts to go up fast

Ok guys reviving an old post AND i am Ready to throw in towel here. So finally installed both HR poly motor mounts and tranny mounts. Put the best in and don't do it again. Drivers mount was cracked and was very loose. Now things are worse than they were before. Boost launch with 2-3 lbs and it cam up with 52 ESC counts and 20 degrees of RTD in one frame using the old turbo link. ARG!!!!!! O2 are at 800. boost at 15 to 16. 91 octane. New plugs, new wires. As i stated in the previous post the knock detector still goes off when shifting through gears at 0 mph. I thought for sure the mounts would take care of this. Since I had the turbo tweak chip I tried backing down the timing by about 4° but this didn't help either. SAME BS... I was going too try and fill up with some 110 octane even if it is leaded but the local store does not carry it any more. Could this be something like u joints, stock Upper or lower control arms, something inside the tranny???? For now its just a car show queen. God it would be fun to get on this thing like the old days and have some fun once in a while.
