I was just curious if anyone here has tried modifying their stock engine and trans mounts to make them stiffer...and how was it done.
Last year I installed 1/2 of a stiff poly dogbone mount... as a result, my transmission mount seemed to take the force and now is really soft and worn out.
Rather that just replace it, I am doing an experiment with it. I took he bottom rubber block piece that supports the engine weight...it has 9 small hole through it for flexability...I drilled them out larger and filled them with polyurethane construction adhesive.
I did a similar thing to the top rubber piece. Then I inserted the rubber pieces into the metal pieces and filled the loose slop areas with more PL adhesive. This may end up being too stiff...i'm not sure. When I get the car running and test it I will post the results.
