Let me know if you notice a difference with the trans mount

You will need a couple of extra parts from the local auto parts store though
as shown in the pic below also some assorted nuts, bolts and lock washers

Thanx 4 the xtra parts tip 2.5sbd:tup: Did u go w/the Hayden or another manufacturer? I guess u wouldn't notice anything aside from the cooler getting warm letting u know its workin? I'll def post a review when I get them installed. I did however get the "Street" version trans mount bushing and not the "Race" version so I'm guessing it won't be as drastic a change as it could be. Less NVH probably. :Dunno: We'll see.

After driving the car a little hard the cooloer is almost too hot to touch
The install isn't too hard
If your not too far from Philly maybe I can help you with the install

I live like 5 mins from Hersheypark as far as my locale, but my stepdads a decent mechanic so he always helps me w/installs but thanx 4 the offer.:tup:
As far as your cooler temp is concerned I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about trans coolers but if after driving a little hard its almost 2 hot 2 touch doesn't that mean u should have a bigger cooler or is that normal? :eek:

Just think, all that heat was only going thru your radiator before and now it's cooled before it enters the radiator so it also helps to keep the coolant a little cooler too.
Lowering the trans fluid even a little has great effects on transmission life

I get that but is your trans cooler supposed 2 get that hot from driving a little hard? How hots it gonna get when u do 150+ MPH sprints like Han? :lol:

Update: Trans mount bushing and trans cooler installed. I installed the bushing saturday and the cooler today. I wouldn't recommend Ralliteks' trans mount bushing to people in cold climates. Its been below freezing at night when I'm goin 2 and from work and the bushing is made of polyurethane and it shrinks in the cold weather and it makes a lot of noise. It even tells u in the instructions 2 put it in the freezer b4 installing. I was shocked. It almost sounds like I have a hole in the cat. It happens under acceleration while driving or in neutral. On the day I installed it, it was warmer and it wasn't that noticeable. Now thats its so cold its almost embarrassing how loud this noise is. It sounds like something is wrong w/the car. It does quicken the shifts a bit but if I knew it would be this annoying in the cold weather I probably would not have bought it. Maybe it just needs time to settle in2 place but its been 4 days so I doubt it. :rolleyes:
