WEVO tranny mounts - thumbs up!

The problem - I could not engage 2nd gear when downshifting under heavy load. (On the track)

The solution - WEVO tranny mounts

I replaced just the factory sport tranny mounts and left the motor mounts alone, at least for now. I was out on the track yesterday for the first time since the change and the problem was fixed 100% - not a single missed shift. I have very little sound proofing in my car so noise and vibration did increase considerably, but thats OK on a track car. One of the best upgrades I have made.

I now have the WEVO shifter, battery box, and tranny mounts on the car and every part has exceeded expectations. The Camber King goes on in a few weeks - I can't wait!

Where did you get the transmission mounts? I didn't see them on the WEVO web site?

I've got their camber plates/carbon fiber strut bar and put in -2 degrees camber without much difficulty.

Did the same thing (although I replaced all 4 29-year-old mounts), and had the exact same result.
