Tranny mount.

I was wondering if they make a harder tranny mount. Im not talking about the frame cross-member. is there a way to make mine less prone to move. Because when I tow something very heavy(like an eliminator) the stick moves quite a bit side to side.

Tranny mount.

It sounds more like your motor mounts than your tranny mount. If your driver side mount is still in one piece, you might try chaining the driver's side of the engine to the frame, as a torque strap. As torque is applied to the drivetrain, the engine wants to twist-driver's side wants to rise up, and the passenger side wants to twist down.
When I had a stick in my truck, I broke the driver's side mount when I was using granny and a lot of torque. The shifter was ripped from my hand and hit the passenger's door.
