Polyurethane Transmission Mount Set - Street Performance

Your transmission mounts are the backbone of your drivetrain. Stock rubber mounts often degrade quickly, leading to excess movement, mis-shifts, and, in some cases, even chassis damage. ECS Tuning’s Street Performance Polyurethane Transmission Mount Set offers an upgraded solution built for street and track performance alike.

Constructed from high-quality polyurethane and 304 stainless steel, these mounts are crafted to withstand the demands of high-torque and forced-induction setups, minimizing deflection and giving you more direct power delivery. With a 70A durometer rating, these mounts offer the best of both worlds—stiff enough to handle aggressive driving but still comfortable for daily commutes. For track-focused builds, we also offer a stiffer 80A version (sold separately).

Key Features:

Improved Stability: Reduced transmission movement for fewer mis-shifts and over-revs Polyurethane Construction: Stronger than rubber, with excellent oil and water resistance Engaging Driving Experience: A more connected feel without excessive vibration Dual Options: Choose Street (70A) or Race (80A) to match your driving style Durable Design: Mechanical interlock feature for high-stress applications Pair your new clutch and flywheel kit with these premium mounts for an unparalleled driving experience. Plus, our DIY guide makes installation easy—ECS Tuning has you covered from start to finish!
