wrxsubaru Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Sence i did the cable 5spd conversion on my SVX i wanted a harder trannie mount, because i would have to match the reves or else the trannie would go into a horrible opssilation if the rev diffrence was great enough. So i went to go get a STi mount but found out that the newer style crossmember has a diffrent bolt pattern than the one i have (90 legacy) and the STi trannie mount would not work with out a new crossmeber. The person there sugested i have the mount filled, she did the same thing for here 93 impreza rally car becasue the STi mount wouldent fit becasue of the crossmemeber, and had good results. I called a couple places, and really couldent find any place that would be willing to do it. So i gave up for about a week, then i remebered that in Sport Compact Car there project rally Sentra SER had a filled engine mount to stiffen it up. So i digged trough the magaziones to try to find that article and finaly did. It turns out that they found out that 3M makes a silicone that is pretty close to the make up of the that engine mount. They did it and said it worked pretty good, harder, but not as hard a polyurathane mount. The stuff is called 3M window weld fast curing urethane (part# 051135-08609). So i went and bouight one tube of this stuff from a auto paint store and it was about $15 U.S.. Then i took off my trannie mount and filled it up. I let the trannie mount sit for 2 days with this stuff in it to let it fully dry. Now the trannie mount is extremly stiff. Before i could twist the mount easyily with one hand now it takes 2 hands and i can barley notice it move. It seems alot stiffer. This has helped alot with the trannie and has made a very noticable diffrence in the positive direction. Its amazing how much of a diffrence this mount has made to make the car easier to drive.

Hondasucks Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 What do you mean by cable 5 speed, are you talking about the cable-actuated dual range I've heard about? At any rate, 5 speed SVX :slobber: WTF I can't have four drooling smilies???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I'll bet he means cable clutch versus hydraulic clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
