I have to replace my transmission mount. I have a choice of buying from ebay an oem from cars that have 120K+ miles on them, or buy a new aftermarket with no specific good reviews.

My question for those that know, do these two look good to you? Good enough to go another 40 to 50K miles.

Mount 1

Mount 2

Or is there a specific aftermarket brand that you know of that is as smooth(vibration free) as the oem?

I find that RockAuto has good classifications for their aftermarket stuff (like economy, heavy duty, etc.). Might be worth checking there?

I already checked there, but all the mounts they have seem to have the same general review. Pretty much they do the job, but not as good as OEM...either don't last or you'll feel some vibration. That's why I was hoping if anyone is used to seeing mounts, if the OEM from ebay seem like they can go at least another 40K miles, or if they have personal experience with an aftermarket mount.

those on Ebay, for the price not bad, but I would would be cautious of how many miles those have on them. the rockauto ones, i agree they might not last as long as OEM but probably longer than those on Ebay.
