I have a 91 teg ls with a 5spd. and a few months after i bought it the tranny went. I tore the whole rear of the tranny right off and dropped the gears on the ground. I found that the motor had moved enough for the shifter stabilizer tor bottom out and tear the case apart. I figured i would fix this buy buying new factory mounts and putting polyurethene inserts in them. WRONG another few months after this repair I find myself in the same boat, but this time a was a few hundred miles from home. Thiss time I plan to fix it right and put solid poly mounts in and new clutch and **** but I would like anyones imput on this and I would love to hear some recomendations. PLZ IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THAT I DONT KNOW PLZ PLZ PLZ HOLLER. (it will be much apreciated).

 

How much is your car lowered?

 

this guy goes through trannys faster than tranny oil

 

About 2 inches. Why u ask

 

I like ur theory but my wallet isnt deep enough for that.

 

Is the stabilizer hitting the ground?

 

Its not low enough for it to fit the ground, its that the motor is moving forward and rearward to much and its bottoming out the bushing that the stabalizer is mounted on and it tears the case. I think that solid mounts will fix this, but i just want some input, maybe someone has had this problem other than me.

 

Check all of your mounts. Which mounts have you replaced?

I replaced mounts 13, 4, and 6 with new factory mounts, but i bought Energy Suspension poly inserts for those mounts. The only mount that i didnt get was the drivers side mount, i could not find a new one anywhere. Another question i had was "do u think that over torqueing the mounts could have something to do with the tranny problem?"
