Polo Dogbone Mount.

So I'm keen to see mine on a dyno

Hop to it Tim - best way to find out

Should this be done after or before LSD?

If you mean as in before considering an LSD as a mod, the answer is yes; if you mean 'I am getting an LSD fitted', then get this at the same time.

So the answer is yes -- this is probably a must-have if you are doing any serious track work

I'm intrested to know...

I have the issue, where on occasion, my pog will grind / crunch going 2nd to 3rd when shifting fast, at high revs. Almost as if the clutch doesn't fully disengage... its not a HUGE issue, its always shifts, just makes a crunch going in, i'd say its happened 20 times in the last 15,000 k's. It doesn't sound to good, and i can imagine it isn't too good for the gear box.

If anyone who has got this mount has had this problem in the past, and knows if this fixes, it... i'd be very intrested.

This would be good to know. I have the same problem but VW just seem to replace the box if it happens.

well i had the problem grinding between 1st and 2nd at high revs, so Guy kindly offered me one of the prototypes and it didnt fix it. Although from then i had bugged him for the mount every week ask alex. lol

As to the observed 'improved' gear change phenomenon -- obviously due to some mass to energy transformation in the space-time continuum -- I'm buggered if I can understand how there could be, nor can I feel, any improvement in the Pog's cable gearshift mechanism!

Mate if you cant feel the difference i think you should drive one with standard mount again. But then again you could be the only one with a perfect gearbox.

Im reallly tempted to get one soon. Crunching first to second is starting to annoy me tho.

[pomme]

The crunching happens rarely for me, and 2nd to 3rd, i can't be arsed going through the hassle of replacing...

I'm a bit surprised by how many pog dudes are coping crunches b/n gears I've never encountered it, and if I did I wouldn't tolerate it for long. It may be bc I've got the vibe for gear changes and I'm down with the "mass to energy transformation in the space-time continuum"
