Subject:      Urethane trans mount inserts - NOT!
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


I couldn't get a replacement Vanagon trans mount in time, so I had a
Rabbit mount pressed into my old mount, then added a urethane insert to
see how it worked. Put it all in tonight and took a spin. As expected, the
urethane insert transmits lots of noise and vibration to the cabin, so it will
probably have to go. Sure is nice and tight though - no more driveline slop.
I'll drive it a bit more before pulling the insert to see if I can live with it (I
doubt it).
