Urethane Transmission Mount
 
Would you be interested in a urethane transmission mount?

Z1Performance has finished it, but has found to little support, about 20 people are needed for them to pump this out.

Details:
~150USD for comfort version*
~185USD for race version*
~Images
~Previous thread

*Estimated prices from previous thread

I will make a public poll, and if you vote yes please reply with which version you would be interested in and I will update the list. If no one is interested or it fails, sorry but they will not build this without enough interest.

List:

Can someone recap to me what the difference is between comfort and race?

g96818 01-28-2010 05:23 PM

i'm interested, but what's the real difference between comfort and race? if confort is kinda like stock then i'll go with race.

i assume race has more vibrations transferred to the cabin, but also more responsive

Togo 01-28-2010 07:21 PM

I'd be all over this myself but unfortunately until my Z comes in I won't be in the market, so I'm not voting, yet...

6spd 01-28-2010 07:53 PM

the blog says automatic?! is the mount the same for the 6mt as well?

theDreamer 01-28-2010 08:17 PM

The one I know of is only for the manual, not sure about the blog.

6spd 01-28-2010 09:27 PM

why not just go to home depot, buy urethane, and fill the stock mount with it? real common and much cheaper. seems this one would only be worth it if it is far superior to stock. but im still interested.

i think the mount replaces the oem insert with urethane, i don't think you can just fill it. anyone got stock pics of the mount?

1slow370 01-29-2010 03:04 AM

i think would you buy a poly tranny mount would be a better question weeds out the yeah i'm interested but i don't have money guys like myself (too many spring purchases already)

theDreamer 01-29-2010 06:54 AM

Glad to see 6 people already voting yes, I know if I can get a few more people here they might be for it and get us closer to getting this.

the blog makes no mention of auto's, as I've never looked into them. Not sure how this would even benefit an automatic since those shift for you. The point of these are to promote much cleaner, crisper, and more direct shifts gear to gear with the manual lever

NYBladeZ 01-29-2010 10:37 AM

We got 8, how about a group buy?

RCZ 01-29-2010 10:56 AM

I'd like one, but its harder to justify at that price...

both are significantly more rigid than stock

The comfort version is approximately 40% stiffer than stock, the race is just shy of 100% stiffer than stock

We recommend the race for those guys who's car will do more track than street. The comfort is really the best overall solution for everyone else.

6spd 01-29-2010 04:43 PM

“The Z1 Auto transmission mount dramatically improved
shift engagement...", now that i look at it, its not Z1 - auto transmission mount, its Z1 Auto - transmission mount. sorry!

Z1Performance 01-29-2010 06:25 PM

:)

g96818 01-29-2010 08:45 PM

well i'm down for comfort

theDreamer 02-03-2010 03:16 PM

Bump.

Zat_Zuma 02-08-2010 11:51 AM

Ttt

theDreamer 02-22-2010 02:27 PM

What? This is common in Raccoon City huh? I'm sure others here would love to know more about this....:eek:

RCZ 02-22-2010 04:01 PM

gotta love an 18-1 poll.

Rickey89 02-22-2010 04:12 PM

i would want the race version of the mount

I think most of us here want that one. :tup:

B1nks 02-22-2010 08:05 PM

I want the comfort one..probably something I'll buy really soon if they have this up and going already.

1slow370 02-23-2010 05:25 AM

if its a one time thing i'd buy now but i really don't want to budget allowing. hoping on tuning stuff, brakes, some local work and a windshield before this.

m4a1mustang 02-23-2010 06:31 AM

Definitely interested.

Daishi 02-23-2010 09:28 AM

ummm make this please...

m4a1mustang 02-23-2010 09:30 AM

Looks like there's enough interest for them to break even on an initial production run.

puckshaw 02-23-2010 10:15 AM

I voted yes. I'd probably go for the race version even though this car will rarely see the track.

initialgemini 02-23-2010 10:43 AM

I would love to see these made. Put me down on a group buy if this ever gets done.

m4a1mustang 02-23-2010 10:49 AM

If Z1 did this they'd have to do it without being a forum vendor, because I don't think this product alone is enough to justify sponsorship... so there'd probably have to be some coordination with AK to allow this to happen on the boards.

theDreamer 02-23-2010 10:54 AM

I got a PM from them a bit ago, they seemed interested and hopefully ready to do this. Not sure how it will happen with them not being a vendor or anything, maybe they can coordinate with another one here or something.

jeffreyfranz 02-25-2010 08:29 PM

Um...
 
Dreamer, I voted yes, but maybe I should have asked first: What is the skill level required for the install?

m4a1mustang 02-25-2010 09:46 PM

Shouldn't be too hard, jeff... just need something to hold the transmission up while you replace the mount.

RCZ 02-25-2010 11:54 PM

how about some diff mounts too :)
