    I just put my Group N tranny mount and pitch stop on and can't really tell a difference yet. Maybe when I get some more bushings on I will be able to notice a difference. I imagine they will all work in conjunction with each other. :hsugh:

    I have been looking at doing these. How long did they take to install. I would imagine the Pitch Stop was pretty easy, the Tranny Mounts not so much.

    They are easy once you quit trying to take short cuts. Just put your car on jack stands unbolt the tranny mount from the transmission and then jack the transmission up. unbolt the brace that holds the mount and then pull the mount out. The tricky part is getting the new one back in, you need to get the bolts started with the mount to the tranny and then lower the tranny back down. after a few swear words I was able to complete the job in about 2 hours. I should have done it in about an hour, but first time is always a bitch ;)

  7. Check out this write-up...... I've swapped the tranny mount out a couple of times, takes 15-20 minutes max...... if you just loosen the crossmembers (don't remove them), there's no reason to jack the tranny or move it around at all. Engine mounts were a PITA for me...... I snapped an extension trying to get them out, then broke down and took 'em to TopSpeed. :)

    I could tell the most difference with the tranny mount...... pitch stop didn't really do a lot, engine mounts didn't increase NVH but made everything feel very solid....... tranny mount sent lots of NVH through the floor and gear whine was a little more noticeable, especially during engine braking, but shifting was great, very precise...... but I also had a Kartboy shifter and all the little bushings to go with it.
