APR is pleased to present the ultimate Pendulum Mount Upgrade!
The APR Pendulum mount replaces the factory mount with a new, thick, billet-aluminum two-piece design, featuring a PTFE-lined spherical bearing and ARP bolts.
The system stiffens the driveline to improve shift quality and power transition, while addressing the common and costly factory failure point at the transmission mounting location.
It is easy to install, addresses all concerns with the factory setup and includes all necessary hardware to bolt on and enjoy!
- Reduces transmission movement
By removing the factory rubber bushing, the APR system reduces slop in the driveline to improve shifts, and transmission of power to the ground. Expect a sportier feel during acceleration, deceleration and gear changes without an excessive increase in NVH when paired with the factory sub-frame mount. - Reduces transmission failure
The factory rear mounting point was upgraded to the new MQB / MK7 platform style mount as the older design was prone to failure under heavy use. Because of the new design’s mounting orientation, the system is far less likely to tear out or break the rear bolts, which typically results in costly repairs or full transmission case replacement. - Spherical bearing
Spherical bearings offer far less unwanted movement over rubber and polyurethane inserts. As such, the APR mount uses a spherical bearing, made possible by upgrading the rear mounting hardware. The bearing is fully-serviceable, features a heat-treated race and precision-ground ball, with a self-sealing and self-lubricating PTFE lining. - Billet aluminum construction
The front and rear pieces replace the factory cast aluminum and stamped steel pieces with precisely machined, billet-aluminum pieces that are both lightweight and strong. Each piece is anodized black to provide corrosion resistance and the APR logo is laser etched on each side. - ARP Bolts
The factory bolts are one-time-use, and must be replaced when installing a new mount. The APR system includes non-one-time-use ARP bolts for their strength, quality and longevity over the factory bolts. - Easy to install
The system is easy to install, doesn’t require dropping the sub-frame and is compatible with the factory and factory-like modified sub-frame mounts. Full install directions are included with each system.

APR rocks!
I had previously been using a spulen pendulum mount. Still had issues with wheel hop and other odd bits.
I saw this APR mount, (and being as I"m running total APR tunes, etc, and knew how fantastic THEY worked, that I couldn't go wrong with their mount.
Excellent mount. ARP bolts. Can't say enough good/great things about this setup.
Only down side, is it's UNDER the car, and you can't enjoy/appreciate the quality work/craftsmanship in it.Highly recommend this mod.

APR Pendulum Mount was very easy to install on a 2008 VW GLI/ MK5. The instructions link was very helpful and provided clear and concise step by step instructions how to install.
I have been driving vehicle for the past 3 days since installation of the APR Pendulum Mount, and have noticed a significant difference in the torque to the wheels.
I may end up changing engine mount and transmission mount from stock to upgraded version since I am not sure the stock mounts can handle the increased performance provided by the APR Pendulum Mount.
I am pleased with this upgrade and recommend to anyone if desiring more power to the wheels.
