the ploly urethane bushing are alot harder than rubber ones, so they should keep everything from bouncing around... but you might have a squek come from them..alot of guys with poly bushing notice squeks, but im not sure about tranny mounts.

make sure you don't have any fluids leaking because that often causes the tranny mounts to wear out faster.

I would stay far away from the poly one. When the you shift it feel almost the same as it does now. It will hit every hard because it won't have any give. I would stay with the stock rubber mount. It will ride smoother and have less vibations.

Definetly need to fix it, just that the poly one makes you feel tons of drivetrain vibrations. I tried it 3 times on 3 different cars, same thing. Just replace with a rubber one from autozone or something. That way, its warranteed, just get a new one when this one goes again.

I tore my old rubber one and replaced it with a Energy Suspension poly mount. It's awsome. I don't get any vibrations or squeaks, and it was real easy to install.
