Subject:Urethane trans mount inserts - NOT!
From:Shawn Wright
Date:Fri, 26 Sep 2003 21:30:38 -0700

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).
