Front Gearbox Mount / Transmission Support – VW Bus T3 Diesel & Late WBX
Heavy-Duty Rubber-Metal Bushing for Turbo Diesel and Fuel-Injected Engines
Restore cabin comfort and shifting precision to your Bulli! Diesel engines and late-model 2.1L fuel-injected powerplants generate substantial torque and unique vibration frequencies that put massive stress on the Vanagon’s transmission support. If your rear cabin is booming or you experience heavy thuds during gear changes, this front rubber-metal transmission nose mount is the perfect direct-replacement solution.
Engineered with a specific durometer rubber compound tailored to absorb harsh diesel idle vibration and high-torque loads, this premium mount eliminates sagging and counteracts heavy drivetrain twist.
Features & Benefits:
- Advanced Harmonic Dampening: Specially designed to isolate harsh diesel idling rattles and high-speed highway chassis resonance.
- Crisp Gear Selection: Keeps the transmission nose firmly aligned, preventing shifter linkage binding and ensuring precise gate-finding.
- OEM Specification Fitment: Manufactured to original factory dimensions for a hassle-free, bolt-on replacement on the central crossmember.
