Just broke motor mounts

It sucks that you are breaking mounts but as ken blocke said you may want to reconsider your driving style. If you clutch kick, flat-shift, or drop the clutch a lot then you should get something more robust, but I have installed harder mounts, even solid steel engine mounts in cars before and I hated the vibrations and harshness they brought with them. In any case smoother driving is faster (in the curves, not particularly in a drag race) safer, and easier on the car. I am not trying to accuse you of sucking at driving, mechanic work, or life, but could it be possible that they are being installed improperly such as tightening the mounts before you get the full weight of the engine back on the mount or tightening them when the engine and transmission or doing anything that would pre-load and stress the mounts when the car is parked? Any oil/fluid leaks that may be effecting them? If you do end up getting something stiffer, give us a review and let us know how you like them.

ive been running stock motor mounts and i daily 320ft/lbs...i don't understand how you can keep breaking motor mounts?

bad brand of motor mounts?

trans mounts in bad shape?

when was the last time you replaced them?

(not likely) engine rotating assy. out of balance? fly out of balance?

How do you keep breaking mounts? You can go poly or even solid if you don't mind the vibration..but if you are driving the car hard enough to break mounts all the time, I would adjust my driving habits first, before you start causing more things to break.

I would agree if only i had broken the mounts before..But my dad who barely drove it hard broke 3 mounts himself...also not a stock motor

the same thing happend to me just like a week a go.. I decided to go with AKG 75D?(55 +shipping that is what people reccomended or i would go with silence's motor mounts .(45 includeing shipping) or 70 for motor and tranny.

in my view not that it matters to people but.. anything is better then the stock rubber mounts

Well broke my motor mounts and in turn cut my radiator hose yay!!!. Well talked to my dad and said he had broken several mounts in that car...I wonder if instead of putting the same mounts in if heavy duty mounts might be better? What do you guys think and any recommendation on the mounts?
