Does this mount solid or should I be using rubber mounts like the 911 sport mount on my trans?
Thanks KT |

QUOTE(JOHNMAN @ Dec 15 2004, 09:01 PM) We had heard that all of the 6 mount bars that use the 4-cyl mount locations will flex as they cantilever to support the front of the 6-cyl motor. I don't have a six, but I find this topic interesting. The fact that the bar is cantilevered forward will add a lot of twisting forces to the bar and hangers. Imagine the forces not only at the broken mounting brackets but at the hanger bolts during acceleration and hard shifting. Like Steve said the stock bar for the T4 is strong and heavy, but it is also carries the load vertically, without torsion. Make sure you use high grade hardware with that bar. |
