Default Motor mount question.

One of the mounts for the tranny actually has been ripped on my car. My brother ripped in when we were wedging the MTX in there last time we did it and he didn't tell me. I heard I could use some polyurethane filler to fill in/repair the mount. I was also told you can use that to make a mount semi solid. Anyone have any suggested stuff to use? I'm going to go out tomorrow and buy some type of polyurethane filler just not sure what. Maybe 3m window weld?

A buddy of mine over on Focaljet did the same thing. I forget exactly what brand it was that he used, but I'm pretty sure it was a standard Poly caulk (probably the shit you find at Home Depot). It was off-white in color and pretty damn hard when it dried.

Not sure how smart it is to start off with a torn mount though.

new ones arent that expensive.

just do it right the first time, and that way you arent having any second thoughts.

I only need one new one, what the teacher suggested isn't necessarily a "cheap fix". He suggested it to me because my car has 3 tranny mounts and one motor mount. All of the mounts but one has about 16,000 miles on them and they all are in stock form very weak. He said that adding that urethane into them will not only make them last longer but will tighten up the torque to the ground and the shift linkage vibration.
