try any auto shop for non genuine rubber ones and definitely try subaru dealers. when we need new bushes to pass the pits for the red brumby they were about $80ea from subaru and $120 non genuine. Yep sometimes genuine is cheaper:)

But if you want i've got some good second hand ones:)

Don't think nolathane ever made them.

Remember that "Nolathane" is just one particular brand name, not a substance. According to their website catalog they don't sell L series gearbox mounts. They do list all the swaybar bushes and others though.
Might be worth searching around a bit more for other aftermarket brands for gearbox mounts.

Sunspares have new standard ones for $65 + $15 shipping.

If you want to check Subaru don't bother doing the ring-around, the dealers are all useless, just call Spare Parts department at the Melville branch and speak to old Milton.

yeah maybe the subaru ones were $65, i can't remember. but they sure were cheaper than aftermarket ones.

Just throwing this out there, but I know of people in the wrx crowd who have made 'hardened' tranny mounts by wrapping the stock one & injecting a compound to dry & harden up. Might be worth a crack if you have a spare set to play with.

Ill find out more info if you are keen.

I don't think that you will get a upgraded mount for a L series. But if you use a ej gearbox mount you will have more options.

My ute has a sti motorsport mount, the old mount had 2 rubber mounts on the 1 bracket and this mount is just 1 huge rubber mount and the gearbox now does not move but you can feel the vibrations through the car but that better than the gearbox hitting the top of the tunnel (only about 5mm clearance).

I am not sure what mods would be required to get this to fit an l series?
