issai Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 ^Yeah, I'm fortunate in that aspect. But I also noticed that warmer weather contributes to more interior rattles. Ya win some NVH, ya lose some NVH... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhook Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I just bought one of these mount bushings, hopefully I'll get it on by Wed. I'm interested to see if there really is any difference. I figured for the price it's worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokedoutv6 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 just installed one of these mounts (comfort) on saturday when installing a new DP and I would recommend it. It's not a night and day difference and you do feel a little more vibration but it's not bad at all. i really dont see much of a difference when using sport shift, the biggest difference i noticed was just normal driving in "D". Shifts seems to be a little smoother and more defined. Before I installed the bushing sometimes during light to mid throttle the trans would feel like it wasn't sure if it should stay in 1st or shift to 2nd. it would seem if i stepped onthe gas a little too hard from a stop then eased off a bit it would sometimes it would hold 1st gear a little too long and overall just feel odd. the bushing seems to stop that from happening. i dont know if its more pedal feel of if the added stiffness makes it "decide" quicker but it does feel better. if you expect it to feel like a new tranny after spending $40 and 10 minutes to install then you won't be happy. keep your expectations realistic and you'll be satisfied.

issai Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The bushing seems to be one of those mods that provides peace of mind to the driver of nominally benefiting the drivetrain, and promises little more than that, which I don't mind for the price.

fishbone Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thread revival. Reading a thread over on IPT's site, this jumped out at me Next, all critical support bushings need to be replaced to insure that the centerline of the transmission runs in perfect alignment with the centerline of the crankshaft. Ignoring this step puts a lot of undue stress on the internal transmission components. In other words, the tranny mount is definitely a good idea, in addition to possibly the Whiteline rear diff bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to see a video of the underside of a Subaru trans and/or dif on a dyno if that's even possible, would like to really know how much things are moving. Whiteline Jim talked me into the diff bushing, though that's a bit more complicated than this bushing...

fishbone Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 ClimberD, I imagine that the torque pushes the transmission off-center. By how much is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigInALegacy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 ^^ Street or Race? I'm pulling the trigger today, just not sure which model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 from what i've read go street. the race adds a lot more NVH. i'm waiting till spring to install because i've also heard it gets rock solid in the winter and the NVH is different compared to the summer. edit: i bought the street model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimberDHexMods Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Alright, I'm going to play devils advocate. When Paul pulled out the mount, it looked pretty solid. The bushing, however, didn't look like the kind of strong and inflexible you get from that mount. I think it mostly transfers vibration. Am I wrong? I've been wrong...

snow05gtRI Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 climberD i'm not sure what you're asking. are you saying that the mount is what is giving the rigidity and the bushing only dampens the vibrations? thus a harder bushing really has no effect? you guys with the race bushing dont have winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
