I had the same problem with an ES trans mount, was too tall. I called them and talked to a tech rep and he said he knew that their mount was too tall in some applications but said he could not get anyone there to make a shorter one!!! Go figure!!!

Default trans mount

Thanks..

I've been suspecting the trans mount as well... all the mounts are new (motor, trans)..... I'll check the angles.

If the rubber mount is too big, can I cut it down?... sounds like I should try the pioneer mount.

I don't think cutting is the answer as you've got the female nut imbedded in the mount and cutting would garf that all the heck.

Personally, I'd rotate the driveshaft 180 Degrees, drive and evaluate. Then think about swapping out the mount. I think I have my old one which is servicable if you're near Houston.

I had nagging vibration issues, was assured by 3 shops my engine and tranny mounts were fine, only to find during the frame off, the LH engine mount was wasted. No vibration now, it was nagging as I could never pin it to either the engine or chassis, wasted a lot of money chasing my tail on that one.
