NA's don't need engine torque braces because they don't have any.

thread ressurection

I have an '86 N/A, Stock, and I feel like the motor mounts are bad, and I was thinking about a torque brace. When cruising, no throttle to any throttle, there is a subtle, but noticable torque jerk.

-Would a torque brace stop the jerk and save the drive line?
-Would new motor mounts be best?
-Anything else anyone could think of?

I'm a college student, $$/Time are big factors. Considering it's my daily driver.

What is solid mount? I don't really have any ambition to have a better handling car, my concern is the jerk i feel when go from 0 throttle to any throttle. That snap you feel.

I had an ebay one on my car. They are pretty good. No fitment issues at all. It was pretty strong too. Also torque brace is easier/faster to install vs motor mount.
