Neuspeed Engine Torque Arm Insert (08-13 A3, 08-15 TT, 08-14 GTI, 12-13 Golf R, 08-18 Jetta, 08-10 Passat)
Product Details
Description
Under hard acceleration, your entire engine and transmission actually rotates due to compliance in the factory bushings. While the soft factory bushings do a good job of damping engine vibration, they can also create a rubbery, vague response in the vehicle's powertrain.
Our torque arm insert works in concert with the OE rubber bushing. With the insert installed, you car's throttle response will feel better and your shifts will feel more crisp and defined on both manual and automatic transmission cars.
Notes
- Audi and VW have changed the torque arm mount mid-production cycle. To ensure you receive the correct item, please make sure that your OE mount looks like the mount pictured. If it does not, use part number 22.10.91
- Urethane durometer: 65A

A good, easy to install, useful product.
Just received my insert today. Installed in about 20 min including getting tools together and jacking up the car. Installation itself took about 5 minutes, and most of that was just re-lubing the insert to get it into the mount.
Took it for a spin around the neighborhood, and it certainly makes a positive difference.
I barely noticed any additional vibration at idle, and just a bit at very low RPM while accelerating.
With DSG, the shifts are ridiculously fast and smooth. In fact they're barely perceptible.
I'm extremely impressed with DSG, and this insert really allows DSG gearboxes to showcase what they're made for.
This mount is great, the price is good, and I definitely recommend it.

"Best and Cheapest Mod"
This was literally the first thing I put on (in?) my '17 GLI after taking delivery of it. The difference in my shifts was astounding. Fair warning: I have the 6-speed manual, so DSG may vary slightly. Also, there is a noticeable amount of vibrations pushed into the cabin. After nearly 6 months with this installed, I know there are vibrations, but I couldn't tell you what it felt like before, and its only super noticeable when you start to get going from a dead stop. But I'd be more than willing to spend this small amount of money, and deal with vibrations for the increase in driver feel during a shift, ten times over! Highly recommended, cheap, and easy mod!

Does exactly what the description says!!!
Shipping was quick. The item fit perfectly. If you are doing this upgrade from the ground and not on a lift, use your floor jack and a piece of wood (or something flat), to push the piece flush into the mount. Took about 20 minutes. I felt the effects immediately and the effects are desirable. Smooth shifts and no wheel hop on a hard launch (dsg). Great product!!!

At under $40 and only a 15 minute install, this is a great deal.
