Anybody on here running solid motor mounts on a 5-speed car? Have any trouble with them? I bought solid motor and trans mounts for mine but I've had some people say not to use the trans mount as it can cause damage to the trans case. I also had one tell me not to use the solid motor mounts because I'm running a 5-speed. Anybody got any opinions on it.

I run solid engine mounts with a stock transmission crossmember in a SBF/TKO 600 combination and it works fine. My understanding is that with production blocks there is some risk of distorting the block with solid mounts under very high stress loads (when it torques over hard). This could be an old wives tale too I guess. I've never worried about it with the Dart block though, and I only ran Convertible mounts with stock blocks.

Solids up front here. Just a little shakey is all... I used a poly mount for the trans. It's a 5 speed, too.
