Default Why Doesn't Energy Suspension Make Transmission Mounts for Our Cars?

I have my transmission out doing a clutch and the OEM mount has 160K miles on it now so I figured I would replace it while Im there. Anyone know why no one offers a poly transmission mount for our cars? Energy Suspension doesn't even list a part number! Would one of their universal ones work with the T56?

The energy suspension catalog doesn't list a part number for ANY '93-'02 Camaro.

I know for a fact the t56 mount is the same as the th400 mount because I have one on my car, let me see if I can find the part number


**EDIT**

had the box sitting here:

3.1108(G/R)

Hmmmm, I put a poly mount on my old 96 Z28, got it at Auto Zone. Coulda sworn it was an Energy Suspension one. If it wasn't that, then it was a Prothane. I still have the package at home, with the stock rubber mount. I'll let you know which one it is, and the part number.

Thanks guys! I wanted to find one local for me since I need to get my car back together (Summit or Jegs). I found a 3-1108R that should work! Its listed for 3rd gen Camaros but not 4th, which is strange, but it looks just like the one Craby linked to.

I saw a few old threads here and LS1LT1 where people said installing the 3-1108 without the pre-load plate will make it shorter (like the one linked) and reduce vibrations as well. Ill give it a try.

Update: The 3-1108 mount worked like a charm!
