Engine and gearbox mounts

[elmartha]

Hello, do having powerflex engine and gearbox mounts make much difference? Other than the engine shaking a lot less! Thanks

Engine shakes a lot less, but the vibration has to go somewhere.

Guess where it goes, through the bodywork :p very very noisy.

great upgrade though.

[elmartha]

Haha fair enough! thanks

You'll feel more vibration through the steering wheel and pedals but the positive is a much more positive "engagement" when driving, especially when changing gear :)

I put a powerflex in my 1.5D and I totally agree.

Worth the price tag though..?

Worth the price tag though..?

What? £20 for a lower mount?

and peanuts for the top buffer as well? :homme:

Unless you fit a solid engine and upper gearbox mount.

Thought they were more than that tbh haha, guess i'll be investing soon..

[elmartha]

Who cares about vibrations! I shall be investing after a few other little bits. Thanks guys great help as ever!

Is it bearable on a daily use Saxò? i don't mind some more vibrations if they're not excessive.

Vibrates more when new but overtime you can barely tell tbh.

I thought the powerless ones weren't meant to wear out? Maybe you just get used to the vibration :)

They do wear overtime as any part does. I think mines a year old now.. cant remember. :wacko:

Yeah bearable on a daily driver. You get used to it tbh :)

[wadoryu]

Aren't any power flex part lifetime warranty anyway? Aslong as you bought it new.g

I dont mind a little vibration, I've been contemplating getting the lower mounts for mine (non saxo) so I think i'll probably give it a go... Its not like they're expensive anyway.

Might help reducing the movement in the engine and tighten things up. Cant seem to find any upper 'uprated' mounts for mine.

Cheers :)
