Stiffy Engine Torque Damper

Just got an 06 tc and i am looking for motor mounts all i can find is the Stiffy Engine Torque Damper any one have it and how to they like it.

just bought it today for $163 shipped. I'll let you know how I like it in a week when it comes in!

Energy Suspension has a urethane inserts to replace the rubbers in the mounts. I have not installed yet. Speed Source??? has a set of 2 out of the 4 billet aluminium mounts. Expensive, not complete, and don't fit well from reports. I have a new design idea that I am beginning R&D on. So far, it looks positive.

Ok... I'm in need of cash after some recent tranny problems. So I'll sell my Ingalls for $100 shipped!

Hmm... Interesting. Subscribed.

Is the potential risk worth the engine torque dampeners potential gain?

[mytcownzurcivic]

potential risk?

People have reported damage to longevity and performance with the extended use of dampeners. It's not a blatant flaw, just a problem numerous people have reported.

Something that I have raised question about. Think about your Physics class about leverage and torque. The torque is applied to the axles at one end of the motor, but your torque dampner is at the opposite of the fulcrum (aka motor). For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, right? Our blocks are made of aluminium with a lower cradle. Something has to complete Newton's Law. What exactly, I am not sure. It may also be exacerbated by LW crank pulley/flywheel.
