Cost Effective Torn Mount Repair

As the 111 platform ages, there are several OEM parts that begin to fail due to both age and excessive wear. One part that can degrade over time is the rear torque mount (transmission mount). Recently while inspecting a customer’s car, we found that the OEM transmission mount had begun to start tearing.

One way to prolong the life of a transmission mount that has begun tearing is to add our sportINSERTS. Our sportINSERTS will stiffen the drivetrain which will effectively increase the life of torn mount as well as other rubber isolators by reducing powertrain movement. This transmission mount itself will eventually need to be replaced; however, in the meantime, this will serve as a cost-effective way to prolong the mount’s life.
