89 was the first year that a Bonneville SSE could be had with a 3.33... 88 was 2.97 Only... 89-91 SSE was 2.97 or the Optional 3.33..

The cheaper mount should be fine..

just when I thought I had it all figured out...lol...please someone tell me the diference in those numbers and what they mean 2.97....3.33...what are you referring to and why the 2 different mounts...and why do I hear some people tell me they have replaced with the cheaper mount only to change again 6 months down the road....you say the cheaper mount should be fine...well what if it isn't?...is this 3.33 a final gear ratio...does the 3.33 create more torque, requiring a stronger mount??? ..I am still not 100% on this dam thing......lol...... :helpsmilie:

Go buy the mount we told you to buy. We have a wee bit more experience with this than you and your parts sources. We own and drive these cars daily, and have tried every option possible since 2002 when this club was founded. 8 years and thousands of members and cars.

Or go waste your money.
