Running all 3 vibratechnics mounts, vibrates a bit more obviously but 0 dramas so far from any of them.
Yeah someone else on here had one completely distintegrate and mine has gone loose and now spins. When I went to remove it when I did the farb it had spun a full 180 degrees and due to the way the relief is cut in its top surface, couldn't get the dam thing out of the steering crossmember without skinned knuckles.
yeh when i get the new one im gonna stikaflex it in i did it with the stock one just now and the car has been the smoothest i ever had it gearshifts are perfect. but my engine mounts are really bad and that would be putting more stress on the dogbone mount so ima hold out putting the new one in intell i do the engine mounts
Hoyhoy.
I would like to jump in here to share something that I found recently with the vibra-technics left gearbox mount, I'm sure I was the first to get these mounts in Aussie so I had the earlier mount from before about two years ago which were a sh*t design.
Only found this fault when I went to bleed the clutch which is done after removing the air filter box, battery & the left engine mount.
I had been chasing this clunking noise for sometime & then wallah.
I've been in contact with them & all they would tell me was that the earlier design was redesigned with no sympathy to my case.
So I had a good look @ the original mount & found it to be much better than their earlier model.
If ya a look @ the shiny metal part, you'll see what I mean.
The round collars done nothing, I wasn't too happy, but found the standard one great.
The right hand mount is a different story, much better.

Thou hath the revised mount
Is good
Im guessing your cupholder is useless now, had the superpro in mine for about a year, the rattling of the cupholder drove me mad!
Back to the stock mount now
there was no vibration and everything was smooth with the superpro bush the 70A one tell it gave in then it was crazyQuote:

The Race dogbone isn't even that bad IMO.
Vibratechnics mounts are great but $600 is a lot of money if you don't need them. My gearbox one was flogged out, the engine one I would put back in if I had to.
I had a 9N previous to the gti and the engine mounts failed.
May be expensive but the stock gear won't last forever.
Preventative maintenance!
