tooquicktostop Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was warned about the noise transmission with these mounts and they were not wrong, anyone else got TRD gearbox mounts and experience transmission noise louder than expected especially at low speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have had one fitted for for over 12 months now and it is incredibly noisy! I have std clutch and flywheel but it makes as much transmission noise as Stevel's race car did. The one I bought had been on someones car for a week and they were changing back to stock because it was too loud. Will stick with mine as it fits with the whole race car theme, well actually i'm not convinced about that to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 My friend fitted his and now it sounds like the gearbox is full of nails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 If these are so noisy, I can't understand why people fit them, especially when your not running mega power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 it makes as much transmission noise as Stevel's race car did. what do u mean by that ?? i am buying SteveL's gear box If these are so noisy, I can't understand why people fit them, especially when your not running mega power. probs because they are called "TRD" mounts i will be looking for stock mounts if they are that noisey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've got stock mounts fitted to mine and never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Same here, incredibly noisy. I got the TRD engine mounts as well, I reckon these don't help either.. I am gonna try dynamatting the tunnel of the car to help kill the noise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks guys, I was warned so no complaints there just amazed at how unsophisticated the car sounds now at low speed, you hear every revolution, clutch movement and gear change TRD engine mounts tomorrow ! Dyno mat will be next on my list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I quite like the "raw" noise of the TRD mount...! It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that it's doing something appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm sure Jurgens lads checked everything when it went back it. From the vid, it does sound like its around the shifter area. I know Jevansio's shifter was very clunky, I gave him my spare pre-facelift one, it shortened the throw and reduced the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Sounds like a shifter bush or similar :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 sound like this? This is the problem im having. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kYgMUidk5w Not quite the same, is that on TRD mounts? Mine is more mechanical gear noise as well as having an aftermarket flywheel (my stock one was knackered) I guess it's just the way it is I will dyno mat the tunnel to cut some of it out The Getrag is never that sophisticated in its operation the TRD mounts just extenuated this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) what do u mean by that ?? i am buying SteveL's gear box Nothing wrong with Steves gearbox I assure you. He had a TRD mount and triple plate clutch. The clutch and flywheel like most big power ones rattle a bit at idle. Added to the fact he had no sound deadening in the car made the whole set up quite noisy. Just makes me think my BPU is a little more like his car. That's all. As regards the noise in the video, I get nothing like that. Just a similar noise to the one Dean mentioned.
