after replacing the mounts, if you still have troubles you may want a chassis mounted torque arm. kits are sold in conjunction with aftermarket torque arms which moves the mounting point off the rear of the tranny and onto some crossmember or something (havent done it, so i cant remember exactly where it hooks up).
i do agree with those guys though, a v6 is going to have a hard time torquing those tranny mounts apart. its usually not even an issue with v8's untill youre making more power and running drag radials or slicks. many guys dont upgrade to a crossmember torque arm until they are running a 12bolt or 9inch and can run slicks.

I agree Pete, there is no way that his V6 is making so much power it is popping trans mounts. The motor mounts are probably gone.

RE: torque arm
I agree something else like motor mounts or something has to be wrong. Cause i race my 6 speed trans am v8 every so oftenand launch it hard and beat it everyday as a daily driver and i have never had that problem. I flat shift mine alot to.It's not saying your v6 never had it happen just has to be something else allowing it to move around and wear them out quicker then they should.

I dunno, I can't see how his motor mount can make a trans mount tear. Sure, an old-style laminated style mount could if it let loose since it would allow the left side of the engine to lift a matter of inches. But this car has "clam shell" motor mounts. Even if it was badly worn, the amount of upward travel would be minimal, and certainly not enough to lift the trans up a wild amount to tear it's mount.

Give me the car for a day, I'll get it to rip...
Maybe he likes to bottom the car out on boulders or ditches? I saw it done on the Dukes of Hazzard with no ill-effects!!!
