    Product Review: 034 Trans mount and trans insert

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    First off you do not have access to a lift, I would not attempt the install. The overall install takes around a hour depending in your skill level. Initial review. Ever so slight NVH( noise, vibration,harshness ) at idle and in reverse. Shifting feels very smooth but firm and solid. I could not even even feel the car shift when driving under normal acceleration. The difference between stock and now is night and day. Stock is very soft to soak up the vibration . I could squeeze it with my fingers. The 034 is made of 65 Durometer and I was not able to squeeze it with my fingers. Overall it was a simple install. And well worth the money, if you don't mind a slight vibration at idle which isn't that noticeable . I do have a slight clicking sound when I turn left of right. Which may be over tightened bolts. My transmission is a 6spd tiptronic. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Man, I swapped both of these mounts out in my garage with the car on ramps. I don't see any need for a lift.

    Didn't like the street density mount, so I took it off. The reversal took about 30 minutes

    What mount did you go back with? If stock, did you include an insert or such?
    Thanks,\

    I would check the torque of the bolts. Also blue locktite should be used if you're reusing the bolts. This install takes 5 minutes with ramps, it's 2 bolts. I'm actually curious why it took you so long.

    He did the mount, also, which involves dropping the section around the insert.

    So I should check the bolts. I used blue loctite on everything. I guess I will go buy a torque wrench this weekend. And re check everything. I was told the clicking would be a bad axle. But my axle was fine before the install. I don't see how that could effect anything.

    I went back to stock. Couldn't handle the vibration of the street density transmission mount. Still have the insert though and like it.
