[Shotimes] TQ limiters on ebay?

[Ron Porter]

When I had to change a torn tranny mount on my '94, I pulled the Torque
limiter on the driver's side, as it was a PITA to change the mount with it
in place. I now notice that I get some oscillation when I back up a bit
aggressively in reverse. No big deal, but it didn't do it before with the
limiter in place.

I believe they should only be used after you have reinforced the two engine 
mounts.  They really don't do a whole helleva lot anyway.

I looks like they were mainly design to reduce noise and vibration and thats

about it.  I have the solid tq limiters on my SC car and I didn't know 
anymore of a difference (on SC only two fit.)
I have al sfb and solid motor mounts so I get lotsa noise and vibration 
anyway but it goes with keeping the car solid and straight during hard 
accleration.

Don't think just tq limiters will break anything on the unibody though.

They are mtx only. A friend of mine hated them and
took them off. A huge increase in NVH. I feel that the
factory put those useless struts on the mtx for a
reason. Replacing them with solid units may not be the
best idea...

Doug Lewis (perhaps jokingly, perhaps not) recomended
that a friend of mine NOT use them on his blower car
for fear of breaking something major or cracking the
unibody.. :)
