Urethane Transmission Mount Coming Soon
We recently began work on designing a new, urethane transmission mount for the 370Z/G37. Since we're a sponsor on this forum, we figured we would give you guys a preview!
The stock mount uses a soft rubber that is liquid filled. While it's up and down durometer rating (stiffness) is sufficient, there is alot of play side to side. This promotes that rubbery, almost vague feeling things have gear to gear. The solution for us will be a direct replacement, bolt in, urethane transmission mount that has consistent stiffness for both lateral and medial movement. You will not need to press anything or modify anything in any way. The upper portion of the mount will be cnc'd aluminum, just like the OEM unit, and the urethane section will come preinstalled so it's ready to put into the car. It will include all the required hardware as well as detailed instructions. This will benefit both the casual street driver and the more aggressive track driver equally with noticeably quicker shifts without all the slop.
We will be able to offer this in 2 stiffness level, comfort, and race. These are fully developed, designed and produced in the USA. MSRP is expected to be approximately $150.00 for the comfort version and $185.00 for the race version. This is the anticipated retail price, but final street price will be determined by dealers who wish to carry the product.
The above is preliminary and final design may change a bit. I expect to have the samples back here in about a week, so we can do some testing and then ramp up to production.
Thanks for looking!

Urethane tranny mount
Not seeing your attached image.
Is this something the average "shade tree mechanic" can undertake? or do I want professional help? Does it void the Nissan warranty?

install will be a direct replacement for stock
as far as warranty issues, that is something you would need to consult your dealership on, along with any other intended modifications

some pics - more can be found on our blog, above. Production pieces may be powdercoated, or anodized, or painted as well, to stay stealthy and keep it looking nice over time. Haven't quite decided that yet.

it was already tested extensively on 2 local cars, both of which have done a tremendous amount of track time, but due to low demand, we did not end up making a production run
we do offer this one however:
