Vibra Technics Uprated Transmission Mount - Performance

Vibra Technics Uprated Transmission Mount - Performance is designed for the 6 speed gearbox used in the ST180. This is an excellent upgrade over the standard mount offering significant reduction in engine movement under the most extreme driving conditions. Its ideal for road cars that are also used on track days as it offers impressive vibration isolation performance for everyday use.

• Increases control over gearbox movement and gives superior comfort and isolation from engine vibrations
• A direct replacement for the OE part fitted to your vehicle
• Will provide a more positive gear change and will give your car a tighter feel

Vibra Technics Uprated Gearbox / Transmission mounts are manufactured primarily from natural rubber compounds and occasionally from blends of synthetic and natural rubber to give particular properties for specific applications. Extensive experience and testing in all kinds of environmental conditions by automobile manufacturers has shown that only natural rubber compounds give optimum performance and durability, which is why it is still universally used today by every car manufacturer. Where the rubber needs to be attached to metal components, this is achieved by chemically bonding the rubber to the metal during the moulding process, using the latest chemical adhesive systems.

Competition or Performance, what’s the difference?

Performance gearbox / transmission mounts have been designed for high performance applications where a direct replacement for the standard mount is required along with a much higher level of engine control to cope with higher engine outputs, and higher road inputs caused by fast driving. The fast road mounts give significant improvements in ride and handling without adversely affecting vibration isolation. Strong enough for gearbox / transmission support during hard driving, but compliant enough for daily road use.

Competition gearbox / transmission mounts like the performance version are a direct replacement for the standard mounts. They are made from a stiffer compound than the performance mounts, so they can cope with the higher loads that are found in competition use. Competition mounts are designed to give you a much firmer feel and a reduction in gearbox / transmission movement. The competition compound is still able to isolate some noises and vibration and still provide a superior feel on the race track.
