:: ECS Tuning :: NEW!! ECS Rear Differential Mount Insert Kits | Audi A5/S5/RS5

[ECS Tuning-Audi]

When you put the pedal to the metal, you're looking for one thing to happen: Response. We're not talking slow, mushy, eventually get there, high-RPM response. We're talking crisp, immediate, power to the wheel response. What is one of the biggest things to steal this response time right out from underneath you? Drivetrain mounts.

ECS Tuning engineered the perfect solution for your A5/S5/RS5 - Introducing our new Rear Differential Mount Inserts. Our engineers have given you the best of everything; Excellent performance, unmatched ride quality, and a simple, easy installation.


Complete Kit Features include:

• Significant reduction in rear differential movement
• Billet & black anodized 6061-T6 washers and inserts for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Polyurethane differential carrier insert to reduce drivetrain deflection while keeping noise vibrations associated with such modification to a minimum
• Increased drivetrain rigidity and response
• Long-term testing performed on multiple vehicles for real-world qualification

It Makes The Diff.

$48.27 for shipping to the UK seems a little steep for such small parts

Unfortunately international shipping is expensive.

Feel free to contact our sales department ([email protected]) and see if they can get you connected with one of our distributors in the UK. Likely could save you on shipping costs.

Thanks for the order! We feel it's only right to include new hardware so everything is fresh!

Will install in a week or two. Then write back with my review. I must say they look much more substantial than the other company's that make these parts.

Well done Jimmy, notes I'd like you to take -
1) what is the down shift like in dynamic mode? My car currently feels like I have an anvil loose in the trunk, there is a real driveline shunt when down shifting in dynamic.
2) is there any added noise/vibration through the chassis

These actually look less aggressive than the others available, the other versions are solid alloy inserts, I like the fact these are polyurethane and will have some give in them instead of an alloy bush with no give.

[Jimmy ny]

Yes. Being polyurethane they should ride better. James you also should do the tranny mount and differential mount. I know the jerky feeling you are describing in dynamic. The other mounts helped a lot. These should make a nice difference

you also should do the tranny mount and differential mount.

There is another type of differential mount that is different from those that ECS is advertising in this thread?

[Jimmy ny]

Yes

There is a separate mount for the rear differential. 034 and Apikol make them.

Installed today. Another snow storm here in NY. Roads are cleared now. Will report back tomorrow on how they are.

I ordered the 034 front diff mount and it's still sat here in its original packaging. I looked at the diff when the car was up on the ramps and I don't like how the 034 mount just plugs any movement with a chunk of alloy so reducing all movement.

I'm ordering this one instead:

It looks a more thought out design that will still allow some movement instead of just a solid metal plug.

Im the exact same James, I must have it had sat on my garage shelf for 18months

[JamesRS5]

What's your plan Caudy? I dislike the shunt thought the transition on down shifting but I don't think plugging the movement with a solid block is the way to do it, it may lead to premature failure of the OE bush. I quite like Powerflex method of using polyurethane on the upper and lower sides of the diff mount.
Same for ECS, I like their use of polyurethane in these bushes.

[Jimmy ny]

I like that power flex mount. The only thing is it might be to stiff and bring in cabin noise. I've never seen anybody using this. ECS says they are coming out with a tranny mount. I have the 034. If there is a better option I would swap it out.

[Caudy]

I agree with you completely. Stopping one part moving will have a knock on effect somewhere else for sure.

Powerflex have now made a 'Black' tranny mount. They state that its stiffer than their normal insert but will obviously have more give in it than the 034 mount. I think i might go down this route and see what i think to it.

I may end up buying the ecs inserts after that depending on how it goes.

[Jimmy ny]

034 has a heavier tranny mount. They say IT WILL bring in more noise. I would consider the power flex mount and switch back to my stock tranny mount. I would not use both together.

These mounts also replaced the Apikol. It tied down the rear diff in 3 pieces.

which mount ?? the ecs ? or the powerflex ?

never knew about powerflex, sound like a nice unit ! i think i will go this way and use the stiffer poly they have.

[Jimmy ny]

Don't understand your question.

these mount ? the ecs replace the apikol mount ? or powerflex produce a read diff mount along with a tranny mount ?

[JamesRS5]

Power flex only produce the front differential mount (see link above) it's currently in the yellow 'road' polyurethane but as Caudy said, they will be producing it in the black 'race' polyurethane which will be stiffer.
I'm going for the softer road variant.
Jimmy, you can't use the Powerflex and 034 together, they both insert into the OE front differential bush.

[Jimmy ny]

Yes. I saw that today. I thought I saw a power flex transmission mount. Their rear diff mount is similar to akipol mount. They also Have 2 versions.

Power flex is showing a transmission mount in the link.

[waxxonMTL]

i think ecs for diff and powerflex for tranny mount is a good alternative to the solid one.

[Jimmy ny]

Solid one your referring to 034 mount. Not 034 insert.

I went for a nice ride today. No noise. Shifts great. Firm and positive. I highly recommend.

A 7 word review, just what I was looking for

Thanks for the effort Jimmy

[Jimmy ny]

What else do you want to know? No noise. Firm upshifts. No drawbacks.

Just ordered this. Now I'll have both the 034 tran mount, apikol diff and ECS diff mounts... waiting on the garage work bench... lol.

Glad you are happy with the new mounts!

Had a chance to put the car down really hard this morning. Huge difference in shift feel on WOT. Nice and firm and positive. My complaints w S mode shifting are long gone. No more jerking in downshifting. You won't notice these mounts by just say driving normal in traffic. But as I said, when you are on the car hard huge difference. I'm not even going to consider playing with the tranny mount at this point. The 034 mount seems like it's a great compliment to the ECS rear mounts. I will say when it was 10 degrees 2 weeks ago there was a slight wine from the back but when the temperture was above 40-60 as it was in NY this weekend there was no noise.
