has anyone ever used a b16 into ur EF HaSport Mount and broken the tranny mount? I've done it twice...i don't know how, but i have...is their a weekness in it? Come to think of it...my stock mount broke once too with my mini-me...maybe it's my car? <shrug> dunno what would cause this.

 

How hard are you shifting your car?

 

The mount itself or the Urethane?

 

did you manage to get into a large accident, or manage to bend any part of the frame etc? I could imagine thats a possability, causing the mount to place correctly but shift with driving?...hmm dunno

 

Beats me, Ive never broken a mount yet and I was using stock on over 200hp for a long time and I drive the **** out of my car and launch daily.

This sounds like a car that might not be straight so their might be some adding stress put in that location.
Bring it to a body shop and have them check it out.

 

is that the old hasport mounts? the old hasport tranny mounts are known for breaking

 

yes i did awhile back. send them back to hasport. they had a bad batch that was made. they will replace them for free.

 

you are talkin about the very first mounts they made right?

 

sounds like your frame is bent.

 

that dosent mean his frame is bent. its possible but unlikley. old hasport tranny mounts break! they known for it!

 

so are their a/c brackets if not installed perfectly, i've cracked mine the second time now, but the first was due to overtightening the bolts...second, I don't know why, they're replacing it for free, but it'll be a pain to get off

 

I got the first batch of mounts and Ive only had a problem with the driverside mount breaking. Hasport has great customer service and they sent me one asap.

 

i actually haven't been in an accident.

They were the original mounts by HAsport.

Yea...the actual mount broke, like right in the center between the urethane and the tranny. Actually when i did brake it, my speedshop sent the mount back to HAsport, and they sent out a new one ASAP, so i thought that was good of them.

Maybe i should have a body shop look at it....because i don't see how a stock mount could break like that....oh did i mention because my stock mount broke, it caused a super angle on the axle and THAT broke too! lol

 

my buddy has a broken hasport mount (the early non-billet style) I think its the tranny mount, but I'd have to ask him to be sure. I was under the impression that they have lifetime guarantee?

 

here is what the first early style hasport tranni mount looks like when its breaks. its because there was a bad batch of them.

 

I'm still kind of confused as to what part actually broke. If the urethane insert got eaten away, buy the Race Urethane inserts from Hasport. I had the same thing happen to me, and I have a friend who it happend to as well. The race inserts fixed it all though.

 

the part circled is usually the part of the mount that broke with those old style mounts
