Unhappy RS Tranny Mount - DIY Info

***This is only applies to the RS Transmission mounts. RS Engine Mounts will work just fine***


So I have bad news for some. Everyone with a C4S or TT can not use the RS tranny mount. The RS mount presses into the nose of the tranny. With the 4 wheel drive system, our transmissions are longer. So our mounts actually bolt to the side of the tranny and come off quite easily. Problem is that the bracket the holds our mounts is a single part# (bracket and mount) and is much smaller than the RS mount (75mm diameter vs. 60mm). So us 4WD guys will have to live with just high perf engine mounts.

I did not get a chance to use my RS tranny mount puller tool, so if someone with a C2 wants to try this over at the house sometime, I'm game...

If anyone wants to buy an RS tranny mount, I have one available

Jeff, BTW the RS alternator hubs arrived

Thanks for the info Bob. I'm glad I didn't get into the group buy. There are plenty of other mods on the list.

Do you mean C4S only or does that include C4 as well?

Graham,

It would also include the C4 model. Sorry for the omission.


Nelson,

You should have gotten in on the RS engine mount buy. It would work great with your car. It is only the transmission mount that can not be used....
