Clutch/Transmission noise; 97 OBS 5MT


Recommended Posts

WOW... That bearing has been attributing to a lot of drivetrain noise I guess. All I hear now is the exhaust and the rattly interior.

 

So my transmission mount modification included a tube of polyurethane from Home Depot, a ton of packing tape, and some ingenuity.

 

Basically, I wrapped the whole transmission mount in packing tape, sealed off where the stock rubber is, cut a small opening in the tape and shot it up full of polyurethane. So I only filled in where the "Group N" has material. By taping it, I was able to mitigate how much air space ended up in there. Threw it in the oven for about 12 hours at 220*, and voila.

 

Not to say it compares at all to a true Group N or anything, but it is notably better than stock, and only cost $5.85 instead of $80+
