Title: Whoops1 I need new gearbox mounts - which ones?
Post by: Lee.C on June 08, 2008, 18:36:54 pm
Well after a VERY HARD 150 miles the other day it turns out I have SNAPPED my Urathane rear gear box mount  :o Like I have said before I do drive her HARD ;) :)

it was a reall pig to get her home the last few miles  ::) :) BUT my question is: Which mounts do I replace them with  ??? ??? ???

- Stock ???
- New Uranthane ???
- Or even Solids ???

I am not too fused about noise/vibration etc etc - its a Buggy after all   :D :)

So what your opinion guys - let me know soon cos I have to get her fixed for EBI2  :o :)

Grey rubber[H/D stock style]  or solid,       all the urethane give up to easliy on a car thats driven alot

Cool cheers dude I was thinking about going back to stock/heavy duty style from VW Heratige - the Urathane ones are also a BITCH to fit  ::)

Just better make sure I get High quality ones - not the type where the studs are too long and stop you getting the engine back in - DAM G&S >:( ::) :)

I'd say stockers and use some kind of transaxle brace if you aren't already

Forget solid mounts, I've just removed mine after 100 miles and gone back to HD mounts. Vibration was a bitch felt like my fillings were being shaken loose! Did my fooking head in! ;D

The yellow ones are even worse, i use stock/HD from Gerd Weiser combined with a Berg transmount.
