New product!

It's a front trans mount.
I have the ZZP control arms on the car as well. The control arms helped a lot, but it was still present. The combo of this mount and those arms seems to have defeated it. Oddly enough, I still get a slight amount if the roads are wet

YES! I have stock mounts because of all the reviews/for sale posts for other mounts. I didn't want to deal with all the NVH those mount are notorious for producing. I KNEW at some point in owning this car, I was going to figure out how to add a front mount to the trans.
The poly bushings I provide are 75a durometer which is a great compromise for performance and comfort. I expected more vibration, but it just hasn't happened. The gain in "directness" is immediately apparent though.
I wish I had someone near with an auto and that wouldn't be the case. I'll get it figured out.
Dude, you have a Cruze. You already have one.

The engine mount is horrible in my car. I tried all the tricks to reduce vibrations using nylon and rubber spacers, but they would either do nothing or reduce the vibration while also reducing the benefit (reducing benefit faster than vibrations!).
The trans mount has been great, however. Very minimal. It has served to keep me marginally satisfied for the time being, and I only swap in the engine mount when I'm going to be having fun and driving loud and wide open anyway.
Good to hear it's helped a lot with all stock mounts. I'll be sure to update my thoughts on the combination once you ship me one of yours! Maybe that little bit of vibration you're getting will even go away with the other transmission mount, hmm?

So my question to you.. get ttr mounts AND this one? Or just yours?
That's up to you. I didn't want the other mounts because of the vibration. My intention was to build something that worked better and caused less vibration. This is a better option than what's available IMHO.

If you want to rattle your car apart you may as well get two 12's in the back hooked up to a D-class 1000w amp and crank the bass all the way up at max volume for 50 minutes. Guaranteed to shake you car apart.

Me and my car would follow you to the junkyard and back. I trust your opinion

If there are any made for the automatics in the future or if I could ever take 2 weeks to get to Alabama I would be very interested in helping to get fabbed up for all the auto guys out there or just to buy some. Kinda need to get my wheel hop issues sorted out again since getting that anaconda installed over the weekend.

Since you decided to bluntly state about our product, which you clearly stated you never had, we will chime in here. Claiming so many vibs, but you don't and never had our product, sounds like a fast bash to gain market. Your 1 mount will not be as effective than replacing the two other mounts more firm. Zzp, ttr, any brand, don't care... You just can't add a new mount and forget about the originals.
1 you cannot have a product work Better AND and Less vibs. Think of what mounts do and how they work. Your mount system may have less vibs but there is no way it controls drivetrain movement better. You still have the stock mounts allowing them to move around.
Furthermore you should really advise your customers of structural issues your application may result in.
1 that part of the trans case is NOT designed to be a structural mounting point. Shift hard and a good chance the trans case WILL crack.
2 you are bolting to the front radiator support area. As soon as a customers hits something (a deer example) they will cause this weak member you are bolting to extend the force into the trans case and they will be out a $3000 transmission. Think of worse yet how the effect would be on a head on crash.
Sure hope you have good product liability insurance. Taking a lot of risk making a new mounting point on a car.
Also your claim of stopping directional forces is fictitious, the rear lower trans does this already if you would understand how the stock mounting system works. The upper engine and side trans are primary. As the engine "winds up" the rear lower strut mount keeps the rotation from occurring. Yours may do the same as the lower mount, but it is not new; replacing the lower one does the same thing. You are just assuming A LOT of risk bolting on that part you prototyped.

He did say he wasn't sure about your product because he didn't have. He also mentioned the multiple reviews about how your product vibrates. If you read about the product you will find it uses style mount the Cruze has. Are they braking a lot of trans for the Cruze? It seems like your coming here to bad mouth his product not the other way around.
**** you auto correct!

Support as you wish, but be advised. We will say no more in this thread.
A Cruze is NOT a sonic. 2 different unibodies.
