Hi

Only use the third one and get some good German rubber mounts for under the stock cradle.

Hi

If your planning some spirited driving I bought a heavier cradle that used stock rubber mounts and also had padded loop over the top of the bell housing, CIP dont seem to sell them.

What I suggested will be fine unless your going to be drag racing.

I converted mine to the eailer thin mounts and also have the strap over the top that Steve recomends. Works well on my car.

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Sorry can you guys confirm... the third product (http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C26-311-204) has the urethane mounts. I thought I would use this OR the rubber mounts. Do I use this WITH rubber mounts as well?

Depends how bodgy you are.

I've got 2 gearboxes sitting on the bench here, an AH superbug box which would just have enough if you left the washers off and a DC type 3 box which there is no way in hell it would be safe, there is 2mm max sticking out with stock nut and washer.

I got one of those mounts sitting here to go on mine, do it properly and make up longer studs.

I have a set of longer studs I have had in about 4 transaxles over the years - I just swap them when I change over.
