Default Transmission Mounts

Anyone else have a problem with the stock transmission mounts?

What constitutes a "problem"?

2 things...

1. Stop launching so hard, if you are seperating stock mounts your doing something very wrong.

2. Install STi Group N - Mounts (be forewarned...if you install these and don't adjust your launching habits...something else, other than the mount, will start failing.)

Oh I do realize, and dont get me wrong, I wasn't complaining about the issue, I was just wondering if this is a common thing that breaks

so billy, when you're racing, how do you launch?

I have never heard of a tranny mount seperating before...

When launching your 3500-4000 slip it out method is fine, but any "shock" (wheel hop, side-slepping, extreme clutch judder) will start breaking things. Subaru tranny's don't like to be "shocked"...treat them well and they'll be fine.
