JackyBoi Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'd also be interested in hearing about the TRD mounts. Would they help contribute to getting rid of wheel hop/axle tramp at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Have heard they ruin the feel of the box, make it allot more clunky and feel every vibration. I personally would stick with a new OEM one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I heard the same but then a couple other have said its fine ?? Plus this is free lol If your getting it free then I guess you can always try it then swap it out if you dont like it. Just be prepared for the worst case senario of changing it again if you dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew K Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I've got a TRD gearbox mount on my car and to be honest I've never noticed any of the things people have mentioned about, also got the solid cradle bushes fitted and everything feels and sounds fine to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I got one Lee and changed from the stock one when I went single. Feels a crisper on the changes and I've noticed when it's very cold, the gearbox feels very clunky to start with, but that may be partly to do with the clutch. Goes when it's warmed up though. Full boost driving the changes are lovely but you probably wouldn't notice the difference unless you did a back to back comparison. I'd just go with it now when you do the conversion; the getrag can feel a little unrefined at the best of times so you won't any difference if you do it from the start!
