TKO 600 Transmission, Rubber or Urethane
I bought a TKO 600 from Classic Chevy a year ago and it came with a rubber transmission mount. I remember questioning the guy about it and why he didn't supply a urethane one. I have now forgot but I would like to get the consensus out there for which is the best to run. I am doing a frame off and will be replacing the body mounts and front end bushings with urethane. Any feed back is appreciated.

Poly bushings definitely have their place and benefits but not sure I'd agree the tranny mount is one of them. I used the rubber on my TKO conversion and think it's fine. I'm aware that some people who have used the poly mount noted some shifter vibration as a result.

When I did mine I was told for a Tranny mount use rubber it absorbs vibration where poly won't. I used rubber. I don't know for a fact it is true but it makes sence to me.
