Yes, Review: Drop Engineering Transmission Mount

I have the Z1 mount. Can't say enough about it. Over time and use the oem mount with become more soft. The Z1 mount gives a sharper response over the oem. NVH is little but passes the girlfriend test - as in she didn't even notice.

The motor or tranny mount? I'm very tempted to grab the tranny mount, but the motor mount is apparently a bitch to install with turbo plumbing in the way.

Tranny. Easy install too once you get under there.

Definitely thinking about new motor mounts . . . I noticed Z1 has both the polyurethane mounts and solid aluminum mounts . . . anyone recommend one versus the other? I'm thinking that the aluminum should have awesome power transfer, but excessive vibration . . . . the polyurethane seems like it would be a good compromise . . . . anyone have any insights? Thanks!

I have the poly. All the 370Z race teams use the poly. So that made it a easy decision for me.

I really like my Z1 transmission mount! Smoother shifting since there is less movement of the tranny.

I have the Z1 Urethane Motor/Trans (7AT) mounts in my car. There is a noticeable difference on how the car plants the power now.

The car will not shake its self to death after the install. However, the car does tremble a little bit at idle. I really don't mind because it makes me think that the car is shuddering with power and ready to spring alive.

Bottom line - Would I do this again? Hands down, yes.

Who makes the most narrow solid engine mount for 370z? I have Z1 semisolid now but need something even narrower? Need to clear some things in current build so need narrowest solid mount I can find. Any ideas on existing mounts? I guess worse case I can have some aluminum custom machined but buying existing set would be nice. Are the Z1 solid mounts more narrow than their semi solid mounts?

As much as I hate to even suggest such a thing, GTM's mounts for their SC kit may be what you need. Whether you would get them after placing the order is a whole different question.

I've done solid diff mounts, nothing has changed. feels and sounds the same. But in a WRX I did poly motor mounts and cold start up would knock your teeth loose. If it means anything I plan on poly motor mounts again but solid tranny.
