Default transmission mount

Does anyone know if they make a polyurethane transmission mount. The only after market one i can find is from competition engineering but its a solid mount which is something I dont think I want because I drive it all the time.
Im thinking Ill just get a replacement from ford but id much rather polyurethane.

Hope you guys can help.

Thats not the trans mounts fault thats your aluminum driveshafts fault. you either have to beat your trans tunnel in with a hammer or you can try poly engine mounts to stiffen things up a bit. the trans mount is very flexible to begin with

I already have polyurethane motor mounts. I do believe I may have to beat the trans tunnel in. I just never read about people having a problem with this before or heard about anyone hitting it in. So i wanna try a new mount before I go at it with a hammer. Its brutal knowing Im slamming my DS into my car.

I have the prothane bullit motor mounts which i think lower it a little. I ordered a new trans mount from ford so Im going to see if that helps any, Im pretty sure its shot anyway, I have a decent amount of movement in the shifter so It should help. hopefully it helps with the banging, if not ill pull my DS down and hammer in my tunnel.

if i remember correctly the prothanes actually lift the motor 1/4 inch. That could be an issue actually hopefully the mount helps if not i had considered shimming the trans cross member down 1/4 inch to see if that would help my car

Is the car lowered? Change the pinion angle? Yeah Dan im pretty sure the prothanes raise it about 1/4".

I've seen crossmembers break but not the bushing.
