Can confirm. VW eats mounts. We do plenty of them.

Any pictures?

No. I must have been busy shitposting that day. So here’s a picture from today just for you.

those mounts definitely look the business. Tho they look slightly more compliant than the solid group n mounts I had in my WRX But I loved the hell out of that car w/ those mounts. You could definitely INSTANTLY tell a difference in throttle response.

2x4 on a jack under the trans or oil pan I forgot which makes it not too bad of a job. I think shopdap has a how to video. That trans mount is a bitch to get to. Two bolts are under a very tight wire loom channel thing.

Ya, I've got both vids saved. Its fairly straightforward, just gotta make sure not to fuck the oil pan.

Hopefully my car had a really tight wiring harness. I had to get the trans mount out with a weird combination of extensions and swivels.

I checked my thread but the IMG links are dead. I said that the NVH was pretty rough the first 50-100 miles.

I already have decent NVH from the dogbone....or it could be clown mounts

I thought it was the whale tail whenever I drop something.

New mounts are in, thanks to SRT41320. My stock ones weren't awful. Trans definitely had more slop than the engine but weren't blown out buttholes like I was figuring.

Extra vibration is minimal and things just feel tighter now. They definitely transfer more engine noise into the cabin, because racecar.

I was in it for the bar shenanigans afterwards

I think the car might actually vibrate LESS now (or at least similar but more consistent, if that makes sense).
