Another great experiance with garfinkle engine torque brace

Finally got my engine torque brace on. Let me start by saying this thing is awesome. No vibration. Shifting into 3rd gear has never been easier. For all you people who argue why put a torque brace in when you can get new motor mounts, I have a new engine with a about 6000 miles and new motor mounts were installed with the engine. I am not gonna put upgraded motor mounts on. For one, they cost too damn much, and for two, I dont want the vibration. Garfinkle is the man! Keep fabbing us up more usefull stuff for our car.

P.S. Jim, we all heard how you feel about the torque brace, so your opinion isnt needed here. Get to work on that bad *** 7 of yours. I would like to see that thing running in this lifetime. This way we know all that work was for something.

Doesnt the little shock/spring sorta defeat the purpose of having your engine still.

I'm working on two types of braces to see which I like better. One rigid (fixed) and one with a dampener. I'll post pics and reports in a week or so after I get all the parts put to gether.
