ECS poly trans mount problem

S65Hunter · 12-08-2018, 02:47 PM

I just installed ECS tuning 70A poly trans mounts. While they do make every shift crisp and keeps everything stiff. There is ALOT more vibrations, substantially more than any other poly mount I've ever used in any other car. I almost thought there was a problem with my trans because of how much noise and vibration I felt. Is there a reason for this, maybe I over tightened them or maybe they need some time to set in? I know there's supposed to be some extra vibration but this is obnoxious. Any one have any insight?

Does your mount come with that aluminum cup? If it does, just take the cup off and install mount only. I didn't get the red poly mount, but I did get that UUC kit which I believe is 50A. When I put the aluminum cup on, it vibrates really bad. I simply removed the cup and vibration is very smooth, close to OEM.

Sounds normal for 'solid' mounts to me. Unless this is an actual race car, I would just go back to stock.

Yeah, some one recommend the Rouge Engineering mounts. So I ordered a set.

I have the 034Motorsports engine and transmission mounts. Love them. Had a tiny increase in vibration at idle on cold starts which I rectified by bumping up the idle RPM speed by approx. 100.

I too have the 034 engine and trans mounts - and notice a little bit of vibration - I'm curious how you upped the idle RPM?

INPA can permanently set a higher idle RPM.

Any chance you can post on here or make a diy on how to change it via inpa?
