Transmission Mount '88 TC

Was ordering some Energy Suspension pieces for my sway bars, rear control arms, and such. I wanted to order an Energy Suspension trans mount to but the image Summit shows doesn't look compatible with the t-5 TC mount.

Anyone tried it or have any other suggestions for a trans mount?

Tom are you sure? I remember my TC having a single stud coming out of the bottom, not two studs? Thanks for the help!

Haaa Just noticed that it has threads in the center, so you could just use the center whole instead of the outside wholes. Right?

i just checked mine, it's a single stud.. a rustang crossmember would give you the 2 stud slots, if you really wanted to go that direction

I had one of those and couldn't use it with a 88TC crossmember. I had to go with the single stud style and returned the poly part.

Why couldn't you use it?

The 3 hole is the correct one. I have used several over the years. Or get out your MAKITA  that makes it fit for sure if it is a two hole !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After realizing that it has three holes I feel sure you are correct! It was one of the several items that I ordered today, so we will know for sure in a couple of days.

Thanks for the help Tom!

I will install it as soon as it gets here, mine is toast as well!

I have a vibration above 70, that comes and goes depending on throttle position, that I just can't find. I have replaced tailshaft bushing, universals, then driveshaft. I am going to replace the trans mount and if it doesn't fix the vibration (doubtful) I am going to yank the entire rear out of one of the other cars and replace the whole rear! So needless to say I am getting desperate for it to go away! lol
