Advice on Powerflex inserts for transmission mount and passenger sode motor mount

[jm2628]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer. It's time to replace my mounts and I stumbled across a post about using the oem mounts with the powerflex inserts.

Is there a need to purchase new mounts along with the inserts? Can I just swap the inserts for my worn out factory inserts? I don't want to waste money on new oem mounts if it's unnecessary.

Any advice is appreciated! Im going to attempt this repair myself, doesn't seem too crazy...

oem mounts are dirt cheap, upgrades are reasonable. if you use cut-to-fit dr schols in your 10 year old sneaks, powerflex are perfect.

first, i would avoid running the OE rear motor mount. just get yourself a whoosh rear motor mount street spec... $100 + tax & shipping and you will get less of the motor smacking the firewall under significant torque. this is a very common first modification for FiST owners
