I hope this is in the right place.

So I just found out that my tranny mount is broken. This is the 3rd time the same one is broken. All of the other mounts are in good condition and everything seems to be lined up like it should be. My question is, are there any companies that make mounts that are stronger than OEM mounts? Im tired of paying for OEM mounts that break so easily.

Also, any info on what might be causing the problem would be appreciated as well.
 
I get off work at 5pm, so I should be able to have a pic up by 5:30....asuming I can get my camera under there.
 
are you talking about the rubber? for those prothane makes complete replacements for the side mounts and inserts for the front and rear.
you can also fill in torn mount with window weld.


if you are talking about the metal brackets then i dont belive there are any upgrades. i have torn the hell out of my rear bracket. i just welded it up and it should hold better now. remeber more filler and more build up of a weld doesnt mean stronger.
 
Its not the rubber, its the actualy metal. Sorry it took so long to post pics, I just got my internet working again.

The circled green parts should be connected, and the arrow points to where the round part should be seated.
