Search for Rick and Quat needs

[Rave Racer]

    Actually I talked to Rod at TPC, and was quoted $14 bucks instead of 48,
and 7 bucks instead of $75.  Go figure.  I  picked up both tranny mounts,
both diff mounts and the little diff mount that needs to be pressed for less
then I would have paid for one from the dealer.  Rod knew everythng and was
extremely helpful.  Rod is one letter away from God.  I can finally fix my
exhaust.  (Fireball Pete shall be no more)

You mean the cheaper motor mounts, right? If the trans mounts cost
you $48/each, that's insane.

I'd try TPC, GPR, Zygmunt, ZZ Motors, etc. and see what you can find.

    From where I'm standing, those ARE the good deals.  I was quoted $48 for
the Cheaper tranny mounts and $75 for the Rear diff mounts.  I figured if I
was going to end up paying an arm and a leg, I might as well have gotten the
good stuff. Was there such a thing as hydraulic mounts?  Or am I thinking of
something else?  Marc gave me the URL for TPC, so I'll try them.  If anyone
else has any ideas, I'm all ears.  Thanks all.



IMHO,
In terms of replacing mounts and bushings, you should go w/ the
OEM stuff- motor mounts for my 200q were about $50 each through
TPC, the other bushings were cheap. Trans mounts were around $12,
etc. Yes, there are a whole bunch of them so the price adds up,
but that's the price you pay if you really want all of this stuff
done.
