Standing by :-)

Previous thoughts were not to use this trans mount in conjunction with solid motor mounts - anyone else have any thoughts or first hand experience with this?


PJ I used before. They do work. The last car I installed it had Cup car shifter and cables which add noise to the cabin. The shifting feel is dramatically improved.
You can use any aftermarket engine mount. They are all good. I had wevo in my GT2 and it was a little on the soft side. Torque Solution is harder than the Wevo, but like I said can't go wrong with anyone.

Tks for you patience !

Eddie, do you have the torque solutions mount at your warehouse? Or have to wait on new version?

The GMG bushings look good, but wow, $295 for 2 bushings.. I really hope there's cheaper alternative...

New design should be out in 2 weeks like I stated before. Not that the actual one is not good, but there were 1 or 2 problems, and they want to make it perfect, and that's why they give lifetime warranty.

I hope they sell just the bushings (similar to GMG's setup) so people who have an old mount at home already can just DIY it.. (instead of buying another whole new mount)

This is exactly what is going to happen.. The core exchange process is a nightmare and the OEM mount at cost for 210.00 + the filled bushing is still a waste of $$ when you can just press in urethane bushings into your own mount.. Retail on the bushings should be 149.00-169.00.. M3evoBR will be able to offer you guys a group buy for even less so stay tuned for updated..

Count me in at that price!! I just couldn't quite swallow the $295 price from GMG (which I am sure is of great quality)..

I hope the new bushings will be pretty stiff.. Or make 2 version available.. one for mostly tracked car and one for people who still wants to keep it quiet (although for those people, they might just want to buy a new Porsche OEM mount once every couple of years..).

There will be 2 versions.. 75a durometer which is black for street use.. And 95a which is Blue and closer to solid.. Both will have lifetime warranty urethane so unlike window weld, or some other brands TS backs it for life to the original purchaser..

Btw.. I just pressed out the factory bushing in 10 minutes so this should be a very easy swap for you guys to do or the shop you are paying for the install..
