NVH on Tuff Mounts?

[Fu Manchu]

Yup, When stationary or cruising along where the engine isn't producing a lot of torque the engine will sit down on both mounts but give it the jandle and the engine will lift up off one engine mount and push down on the other as the engine is trying to rotate itself in the engine bay against the driveline.

Sorry? The what? Give it the what?

I have tuff mounts, lots more rattles and harmonic vibration, for me it is to much for a cruiser with inspirations of greatness.

I'm considering getting 1 of the MACE unbreakable engine mounts for the passenger side as they use rubber and not poly, and going OEM on the driver's side

No muff too tuff.

Ended up buying the Technico engine mounts and Tuff Mount gearbox mount. Will report back on NVH once I get them fitted.

Should be okay but I'd check with Tuff Mounts that's an okay combo. The Technico have a bit of flex where the Tuff Mounts don't and Tuff advise against mixing mounts (OEM specifically) as they can come to a bad end if the engine can twist more than the trans

Too late, I’m already committed now. From what I have read the main issue is that the weakest mount/s will flog out first.

Seeing as the Technico mounts are good for 2000 horsepower it should be an interesting arm wrestle between the engine and gearbox mounts!

Craig's advised me "not" to use the tuff mount trans mount

Something about destroying the transmission core
