Holy hell this trz tranny mount!!!!

[Addikted To Boost]

i kept mine on for about 4 months before it drove me fucking insane and i had to rip it out of there. When i went back to the stock mount it was live driving a totally different car. So much better on the stock trans mount.

[Lex]

The dynamic dampener (weight) is meant to work with the stock mount(s) to reduce noise and vibration. If you changed the mount, it is not longer "tuned" to your setup.

the vibes dont dinish, you just get usedto them. ask anyone else who gets in your car

[rodrigo]

idk man.... i really dont know. im mostly regretting this mount now. i wanna enjoy my car and this shit is so loud i literally cannot hear my cbe....

i might perhaps put some thin rubber washers in between all the hardware to see if any improvement or i might just chuck it. i remember the trz derlin rmm and yeah it was a lil rough and then it settled.... but this shit sounds like the car is struggling at times....and being so loud i cant hear other shit that i always tune to hear..like detonation, crackling..squeaks etc....

im getting pissed now

[R.MS3]

Get the unicorn CP-e TMM when it gets released. lol

[Chupacabras]

It it's not fun to drive your car, what's the point?

exactly how I felt. that's why it's not in my car anymore.. I wish CPE would come out with a softer one already.

[phillyb]

lenny's a big ol bitch

[rodrigo]

dude philly.... u have no idea man. u have heard my greddy (blue tip yeah!!!) exhaust...its decently loud... i cannot hear it any more...at all. it sounds like im in a fucken solid motor mount race car.... i bet if we put a video camera it will be blurry

[Raider]

I have 20K, probably more miles on mine. Other people notice the sound, I barely notice over the radio. Vibes with AC are minimal. I know radio off I hear the trans whine like its a rally car. But the reason I got it was the OEM bolt backing out and all hell breaking loose that was happening. No problems since I installed mine. I did not have a weight on my trans mount, not sure what the heck it is. I think the noise is there with all solid mounts, really. I have a CPE rear mount, not sure if that helps. Give it time. I have only heard of 1 TRZ transmission mount fail, and that was the bushing getting pushed through due to the washer bring installed on the wrong side.

[Amazon]

TRZ tranny mount is teh loudz, but sounds cool when you get on it

[Biggs]

sorry to hear that lenny and thanks for the impressions, been thinking of gettin the tranny mount for a while now.... not anymore.

does anyone know if SU's passenger side mount yields the same vib issue?

[rodrigo]

its very hard keeping a part on the car that makes noises....im not so worried about the vibes... its the sounds that i find disturbing....and to me its always the same rule...if it sounds bad it most likely is...

fuck i hate this shit, stuff like this makes me regret fucking with this car. like how the fuck do i know that these extra vibrations and strain by not allowing any flex wont cause transmission problems down the line?

i have had some loud fucken cars man, shit ive run open headers to college for 6 months str8 with chains holding the motor stiff.... but when u hear other shit its kinda hard to ignore and just say ..ehh just some vibes

[chris29mil]

has anyone compared the trz mount with the streetunit pass mount?

[Raider]

Yeah my wife hates the noise. But I am not worried about the fucking bolt backing out and snapping. Recalled years ago and fixed? Nope. I bought it from a guy who's post-recall MS3 had his engine fall the fuck out, caused a lot of long term problems after "fixed" and he eventually got rid of the car. My car is a recall-era 2006 built MS3, not taking chances.

Maybe someone with the SU mount can chime in on noise. The CPE transmission mount is due out sometime in 2016, so maybe it is quieter too.

[fjames]

It gets better in time - a lot of time. CP-E 60 rear helps a little compared to SU. I tried stuffing shit in there but nothing made any difference. It drives so much better I'm not giving it up, but I wanted to every day for some time when new ... it totally freaked me out how load it was at first.

^ what i want to know

though they are too totally different types of mounts.

[phillyb]

lol, i keep on forgetting about the clutch...
so tmm with upgraded clutch/flywheel is uhhhhhhhh, it's loud?
lol

[Lex]

You're driving a 2007 street car. I wouldn't put up with that shit. I went to CS inserts because they are quieter. I had loud annoying cars and eventually hated them. It's not just the amount of noise - it's the type of noise. If it bothers you, remove that shit - no reason to keep it on because people call you a pussy ... pussy


EDIT
The torque dampener I installed helps with shifting but it's not TOO loud ...

[kabobulate]

Man I definitely feel Lenny on the noises. I don't care about the white noise vibrations as much as the clang and bang noises from inside of the tranny I can hear now. But, now that I know others hear the same noises I am less worried.

[IshiKage]

fuck that mount, len. it makes everything on the car loud. and the exhaust will drone like crazy

swap the mount to a SU and see the difference. then put the TRZ back in and see how long you can take it. its fucking loud and rough

which trq dampener did you install? I had the weapon R one when PG first started selling it, but I had to take it off eventually. Being bolted to the top of the strut tower, it seemed to transfer noise directly into the cabin. couldn't stand it after a while, so it got the boot. I'm good with just the RMM.

[rodrigo]

how r the street unit side moutns for wheelhop?? ill tell u this though with trz there is zero hop.....i mean i might as well have welded the tranny to the frame ....

i so hope i am overreacting.

[skeeter149]

damn lenny hope you get this settled to your liking. till then i will continue to enjoy the sweet sound of my GReddy Ti-C exhaust and AQ Motorsports down pipe combo....

[DaleNixon]

Vibes reduce a bit. The sound definitely does not!

Ignalls Stiffy. Got it used and gave it a try. It's a little noisier but not bad and not harsh. I heard other ones were very harsh.

You people who keep asking about this need to read the fucking posts...

Lenny has driven my car with the 3 SU mounts and the ACT clutch, so he knows what to compare his car against

dude im almost wanting u to come down tonight so u can see this shit....its fucken ririculous.

yesterday when i was driving i was zig zagging aggressively in the hopes the shit would settle into place or some shit.

ill give it til sunday and then maybe ill tighten toonly 70ft lbs instead of 90.... and maybe re do it to see if centering the studs on the 4 square holes of the mount does anything....

[IshiKage]

i havent noticed wheel hop really with my SU mount

[flyrevs2]

Seriously the kicker mount & upgraded RMM (CP-E) and NO wheel hop & very low vibes at idle and taking off. I know ptp has a bad rap but they really did a good job on the kicker and more importantly it works.

[Hectik1]

LOL at all the "oh it makes too much noise" and "the vibes hurt my vag"

MAN UP!!!!


This mount (along with the TRZ rear mount) makes so much a difference in the way the car drives as a whole it's ridiculous. It feels aggressive. Throttle inputs are immediate. No more delay as you wait for your engine to shift. Yeah it vibrates but it's a MAZDASPEED. If you wanted a nice ride and no vibrations should have gone and bought an old Buick!

[rodrigo]

wtf u got in your car? ^^^^

cuz unless u got all the shit i got what u are really telling me is in that 259whp ms3 of yours it aint that bad.....


and its not just the noise and vibes...... last night and this morning i go WOT and hit 6kr in a second and the nose drops.... i cant tell if it was pinging or just fucken vibes making it go nuts....

the act clutch and light flywheel sound like dragging scratched brakes when decelerating.... i also got super tight traction bars that limit all movement up front....

so before u open your mouth to me faggot...go get some mods up in your asshole

[aaronc7]

pussy. you'd think your ass would absorb most of the vibes

[rodrigo]

LOL!

[Monotonous ONE]

i was gonna get one



now i am not


i shall wait for cpe or streetunit side mounts...probably s-unit

[rodrigo]

ya so far thumbs way down on this shit....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down.

and i highly recommend the trz derlin rmm.... so that should give u some perspective

[aaronc7]

ive ridden in trz tranny mount cars before lenny... i was like holy shit this is comfy. my 3 SU setup was a lot rougher. i doubt your delrin rear is affecting it overall that much

[rodrigo]

seriously aaron.... this shit is insane man.. hnda-etr has su mounts...and fucken full caged out frame plus stiff as coilovers and his shit doesnt sound bad one bit.....

idk..i wanna throw a fucken grenade at my car right now

[aaronc7]

have you checked out the rear mount, make sure its holding up fine?

same for passenger mount..actually definitely check out the passenger side mount!!!
