I've read/heard that solid tranny mounts can/will crack the case? Can anyone confirm this?

Not csi...(-;

This is blasphemy!

Although I did read someone say it in this forum, I have never seen it.

i would probably expect the bolts to break before the transmission but that would only be an issue if you run regular engine mounts with solid transmission mounts.

strangely i see alot of people running solid engine mounts and rubber tranny mounts or vice versa, you should ALWAYS match the mounts for the engine and transmission respectively or possibly break one side or the other.

I've seen it before. retard bolted his right to the cross member with no mount of any kind. this also very common in 4x4's. keep the same type of material on both the engine and trans mounts. if not possible at least make the engine mounts stiffer.

Without any mount, wouldn't the trans be flopping around, probably causing the bellhousing/casing to crack due to flopping around?

I think he means the guy bolted the trans directly to the crossmember. This would also mess up the driveshaft angle too.
