Description
The OEM transmission mount was designed for ride comfort and is prone to sagging and tearing – above all, it is a detriment to performance. Its empty voids allow for too much transmission movement, resulting in sloppy handling, numbed responsiveness, and imprecise shifting. Racecars utilize a solid metal mount to mediate this, which is impractical for street use as it transfers extreme noise and vibration into the cabin.
So how do you achieve the benefits of a solid mount while retaining daily drivability? FUNCTION-FIRST Performance offers the only available effective and easy to install solution. This durable urethane rubber insert simply slides in to fill and fortify the empty voids of the OEM mount, preventing premature bushing wear and undesirable transmission movement, all while transmitting minimal added noise and vibration.
The result? Handling is taut and predictable; power delivery is immediate and smooth; gear changes are crisp and confident.
Installation can be completed with basic hand tools in about one hour. Pressing out the stock transmission mount bushing is not necessary, but your stock bushing must be in good shape in order for the insert to function as designed.
The urethane used in this insert has a durometer rating of 70A for street use with reduced noise, vibration, and harshness. A harder "track" version is also available.
