My supplier informed me that core price has risen from $40-$60, the new price for those requiring a core is shown below(this effects all orders placed after 2/22/05). Price for those sending their mounts to be filled has not changed. there will be two ways to get in on this GB-
1) Send me your rear trans mount(roll resistor) to fill
cost: $60
turnaround: four buisness days from when i recieve your mount
2) I order a new core, fill it, and send it to you
cost: $120 (includes refundable core charge of $60)
turnaround: four buisness days from when i recieve the mount i must order(may take upwards of a week)
note- those requiring a core must pay the core charge of $60 in advance, and the remaining $60 is due when your mount is ready to ship, or it can be made as one payment.
i take paypal as well as moneyorders.(details can be given through PMs)
*untill i'm no longer laid off- the housings can only be done in black.
any questions feel free to ask, and anyone with extra rear mounts for sale, please pm me.

yes, they are.
Ill give this the ol' bump for ya. Got mine today, looks great. Kinda wish i could have gotten red, but who will see it anyway. Quality looks top notch, my roommate (who is a motorhead as well) was impressed too, especially for doing this yourself. Well worth the money.
Ill get it installed this weekend and get my core back to you sometime next week. Thanks again.

Same here!! Can't wait to get it installed.
not to sound dumb but can anyone explain the funtion of this part and how often it should be replaced?
It holds the back of the transaxle (MTX-75) to the frame. It should be replaced whenever it wears out, which is easy to see if you get under your car. This one will help prevent wheel hop, so you may want to switch out the stock one if wheel hop is a problem for you. (Wheelhop: when your front wheels slip and cause the engine/transaxle assembly to slam back and forth). The only downside is more vibration and noise in the cabin, since this part cushions less, being made of a very hard polyurethane material. For pics and more info, see

the stock part is garbage...plain and simple.
people have been filling their mounts with urethane for quite some time, and i have yet to hear of any problems with them.

got another mount here done ready to ship.
I noticed in the previous post that 95 mounts are different and you won't do a core exchange. Is that still the case?

the 95 mount is only different if you haven't changed it once already, and by know you should have I would think
the original 95 looked like it was fluid filed or something, were as the new one is more or less solid and of course made differently
I got 2 more in today....get these things out of my house

yes...i can not use a stock 95 mount, the newer revised mounts are necessary.

- with warmer weather, I've noticed a HUGE difference in NVH. In sub-zero weather It feels like it's going to tear right out, but now that it's 60�º I barely notice it.
does this mean it is not as stiff of a material in warmer wheather? less stiff in warmer wheather?
yes, in warmer weather the poly is softer. I can tell the difference just by touching it. It is now slightly flexible, and there is a little give when I press it with my finger. In the cold it was like a rock.
this shouldn't have an adverse effect on it's ability to resist wheelhop and drivetraine movement, it's just not as harsh a ride
bump-
2 mounts done ready to ship.
Update: all stocked mounts are sold.
Reminder: i pay $30 shipped for used mounts...if you have one laying around sell it to me
I have yet to do a 3000 rpm clutch drop from a dead stop, but during "spirited" driving short of that so far, since getting this rear poly roll resistor installed along with the ES insert in front, it's been "Dude, where's my wheelhop?" The extra chassis vibration is no big deal on top of the hum from the headers.
wait, so this part eliminates wheel hop? How much labor is involved to swap this part? I'd have to have a mechanic do it cause im not very car savvy.
hoping this gb will be open for a while, i want in, just need to come up with the cashola. mark me down for a new one though, i'm definately in!

You can do it if you can turn a ratchet. It's literally 4 bolts. Lefty-loosey, righty-tighy. And it's exposed underneath the car, very easy to get to. But, if you insist, your mechanic should do it for 1/2 hour of labor. Maybe $20 if they like you. And it doens't eliminate wheelhop - it helps. My suspension is shot, so I still have it, but not as bad. It also causes more noise and vibration in the cabin. But, if you drive hard, and get wheelhop: get this.
i'll have a couple at SZ for those that are coming...not to mentuion you can win one in the raffel(shameless plug for SZ)
I personally won't be at SZ, but perhaps my old rear roll resistor will be. I shipped my old core to you today, pole120.
Thanks again for a great job with the poly'd one that's now in my car.
Youare very welcome, thanks for the buisness.
is there any pics of the final products
keep i mind i can only do them black anymore.
there are more pics in the original thread(link in first post)
2 mounts in stock ready to ship
I want one in Red!
Received my mount late last week, and it is beautiful! Thank you! I look forward to getting a front mount.
HI Josh, got mine installed and I will get core back to you in a couple of days. See email.
Thanks
Dan
I think I'd like to get one, but will have to hold of a little while, $$$... Looks really nice! Thanks for the offer.
bump....2 in stock
Hey pole, when are you doing fronts?
i'm doing them one at a time right now, as i only have one core in circulation, Stazi has it at the moment, once i get his back i'll be able to do another.
Pole
update guys:
i have 1 rear mount done ready to ship
and three rear cores that can be filled the day an order is placed.....
thats 4 mounts that can be out the door in 2 days.....

I just got my poly rear roll resistor yesterday ! Looks AWESOME ! ! ! I hope to install it this weekend !
Pole please let me know when you might have a front available.
Any tips and tricks of the pros? Any suggestions from those that have replaced it?
Hit the bolts with some PB blaster, NOW!!! Trust me, you'll be happy that you did. I broke one of the bolts, and had hell getting the broken portion out of the nut material. And finding the oddball fastener was not easy either, Ford wanted about $20 for it.
Other then that though, the install is simple. The only thing that stuumped me for about 23 seconds was when I was putting the new poly on, that the through bolt did not match up with the hole. I jacked my trans up, enough to line everything up and was done!
I just got my GCs and Konis on, and now that that end of things is under control, I can feel the roll resistor much better. Let me state this clearly: I cannot induce wheelhop. I tried. I left rubber all across the county. Zero wheelhop. Man, does it feel good! Thanks Josh!
Oh, and this hot weather makes the NVH gremlins dissapear. At -20 degrees F the poly is much more prone to shatter my teeth

I'm now wondering whether this part is a mistake for me? I don't care about wheel hop, and am not interested in adding vibrations (NVH) to my car. This is my daily commuter/ only car.
I was just thinking these poly resistors were a less expensive way of replacing some of the motor mounts (stock new resistors are like $180) that my mechanic said I needed soon.
Any input? I am not a racer or anything. Just want to keep my car running for the next 100K miles.
If you have never had wheelhop, just get the rubber kind from Bill @ sig LM, and ship your core to Josh. If you get wheelhop in the rain/snow then this will help prolong the life of your diff.
I exaggerate slighly about the NVH, but it is pretty bad in very cold weather.
NVH is not that bad, especuially in warm weather, and, houghh you will notice it right after install, you grow accustomed to it in a short time, and hardly notice.
I need to get you some Zetec ones soon!
Talk to hetfield, i can prolly fill the rear(and maybe front if it doesn't work for what i need) from the parts car
I will be needing one of these very soon I hope you will be continuing to make them.
Aaron
I will make them as long as people need them

I finally got around to installing my new Poly roll resistor today. Went on pretty easy, (thanks for the PB Blaster suggestion). But the noise is VERY noticable. I only moved it from the work area to my parking area, and it was N-O-I-S-Y... Have I done something wrong. Over tourqued/ under torqued/ wrong bolting pattern, etc?
Will it relax in at all? I'm not sure I can deal with this noise and vibration.
Not a complaint about Pole's product. It is beautiful and went right on. It just may not be right for me.
It should calm down a bit after some miles but if in the end it does turn out to be too much for you i do take returns, full price is not refunded because the mount must be sold as used, details can be given through pms.
i say give it a week and if you still arent happy then send it back.
PM me if you need and we can work this out.
Josh
Or i will buy it if fairly priced and funds allow

There are three kinds of people in this world alex......
i just put mine in today and i dont find it to be noisy , just crank your stero up , put it works great and i would say that everyone needs to get this to eliminate wheel hop

Josh,
You have PM.
Does anyone know the Ford part number for the Front and Rear Roll resistors? I have been on the Part Counter Express and there is a photo but there are about 10 parts pictured, and the descriptions aren't specific enough...
i think the mount was to good, so good it blew my trans , lol so i guess its only gonna help me replace it now becuase i have a stage 2 clutch and flywheel, also a new torsen t-2

Just installed the rear poly-filled roll restricter. Is it normal that the bolt that goes through the middle of the roll restricter has a lot of play? What I mean is, if you have the roll restricter in your hand, and the bolt that goes through the middle of it, and you put hte bolt through the restrictor, its got about a 1/4" clearance all around the bolt.
I'm wondering if I'm missing a bushing of some sort?
Thats how they all are, all the center bushings on all the oem mounts have a 3/4 to 7/8" hole(can't recall off the top of my head), and the thru bolt is 1/2.
Ok, here's my review:
First impression was
But that was only with the rear installed, and what I found out later was a loose front stock RR (with ES inserts, we must have forgot to tighten that bolt when we did my 3L
). Truth is though, after a day or so I was used to the vibration and noise, and after driving it around, I'm realy torn! I love the way it changes the cars behavior, and kills my wheelhop, but it does come with the cost of comfort; more NVH
A week later I received the poly-filled front and installed it. It does help a little, but doesn't return the car to stock NVH levels. The improvement from just having the rear is negligable and not too noticable. Mostly a placebo effect. But the way the car moves, well that IS noticable. You can tell that the motor isn't moving at all in there anymore. You engage the clutch, the response down on the pavement is immediate. The feel is true and pure.
Overall, I do like this enough that it outweighs the discomfort of the NVH. However, its not cold here yet at all so the NVH may get worse by winter-time. But truth is, I have no wheel hop and all, and the feel of the car for driving is much improved.
Pole, I'll get these cores (front and rear) heading your way. Check your PMs, I need an address.
Ryan, thanks for the review, and i'll get that address to you now.

My review...
When i first installed it, I was really pumped.. I had to break in my clutch for 500 miles before I could really try it out.. launching i now have no wheel hop and on my 1-2 shift it feels a lot better.. it makes it a little louder in the cabin but it's well worth it. and for the price you pay.. you cant go wrong
Anyone heard from Josh. I am trying to see if he recieved my cores but havent heard anything back. I cant wait to get mine too.
-tropictour
Got home from a weekend out of town at 12:00 last night, and just gotmhome from a 13 hour day at work, sorry i didn't get on the computer till now.
Yes, i got them and they'll be out the door in a day or two.
Thanks
Josh
Almost for got to mention......
i have one front roll resistor core in stock
and two rears.
