I picked up a great deal on a set to try on my car (if I can get them around my cross over for turbo). Question to anyone that has (I tried the search and I suck at it) Has anyone made it work and how PICS are great if you have them. I can of course buy the cross bar too but if I can fab something.

Thanks:clap:

Are you having trouble shifting? I had a problem with shifting and tried the torque limiters, didn't really help to much. What solved the problem was dumping my Spec's setup for an RST twin disc.

No, they won't work with the turbo kit. You don't want them anyway, they try to hold the torque of the motor by bolting the trans to the frame. Get motor mounts and stiffen your trans mount is a better option imo. If you haven't done motor mounts start there.

And here is how I stiffened my trans mount.

So for the trans mount I got a diy poly kit. I went with 80a which puts it right in the middle for hardness, the durometer is listed for street/strip use.


First I cleaned and taped up the oem mount, you can see all the holes and the oem rubber is very weak and flimsy.

Next you mix the base and activator well and then you have about 20 minutes to pour.

I had to grab some sand which I should have done in the first place as if shores up any small leaks through the tape. I used clear duct tape so I could see what was going on.

As the bubbles come out and it fills just add some more poly, I did this twice after 10mins each time and then the poly was too solid to pour. After about 2 hours it was hard enough that I could remove the tape and clean it up. Says to wait a full day for it too fully harden. then bolted it back to the trans mount it turned out really well and is a lot better should match the poly motor mounts well.

I hate it when you don't tell me before I forget to ask you! [emoji6][emoji6]
