transmission mount

[mathillois]

hey r3vers,
i have an 89 325i in need of new transmission mounts. ive looked on forums and online stores to see whats available. to what i have found online for street/track mounts are the uuc, e21 mounts, and vorshlag 80a mounts. ive heard some negative reviews on the uuc's and nothing about the e21 or vorshlags. so my question: which to get??? i know with the e21 mount i need to drill a slightly bigger hole which isn't a problem, im just looking for quality and whats best for the street/track scenery. let me know and thanks in advance.

I've heard condor speed shop has good delrin stuff. Blunttech sell for them, also a site sponsor.

ill check that out. would stock be the best option??? compared to uuc or delrin or vorshlag or e21 mounts?

[mathillois]

those are recommended for race only. i mostly drive my car on the street and occasionally do track and drift. any input on the ones i listed? those are the ones i found to be street/track

Stock.

^this. e36 oem mounts are a good choice. No NVH.

so e21 vs e36 mounts, e36 win? even if e21 mounts have a wider stud?

I've never used e21 mounts but i'm more than happy with the e36 ones. Perfect combo with condors motor mounts. My condor trans mts came off in 2 days, too hellish for me.

[mathillois]

AKG or Powerflex make very good poly mounts. For a dual use car, use those of 75 durometer rather than 90 for reduced NVH.

for street use the E46M3 stock mounts are a direct interchange with the original e30 mounts; uses same hardware. e21 uses different size stud and needs modification/

e46m3 transmission mounts are interchange fit for e36 m3 also.

even for HPDE track use the e46m3 stock mounts are quite good - if your car is caged then stiff poly/delrin or solid metal mounts would be ideal.
