For me, it was a 'while you're there' upgrade - I was getting solid torsion bar housing mounts, so I figured I might as well get the solid tranny mount as well.

If I were contemplating a solid tranny mount, I would go for the solid motor mounts as well. Otherwise you will have one end of the drivetrain rigidly mounted with the other end relatively mobile.

well im still trying to figure out if i need a tranny mount or not, im definately getting a "bouncing" when going from on/off throttle.
What about taking the solid mount and putting in some rubber 1/16" rubber gasket material?

I'm waiting for them to put these back on auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
A little less expensive than the Lindsey mounts...
