    I think its just a very different feeling mod.

    I remember when I installed my TWM short shifter kit, it was crazy different!! It just takes some getting used to.

    I will give it a chance for sure.

    The mount is a 75 duro, so perhaps I should have gone the 60.

    I might also check with the mechanic that they torqued the bolts correctly as I read another post about over-tightened bolts leading to more vibes.

    Another day and it has loosened up a little bit more so hopefully in another 900km (I'm going to give it 1000kms) it will be ok.

    Thanks for the support people.

    These cars can be fickle. I had an SU mount installed and couldn't hearmyself think for the vibration. After about 4,000km it never got any better. Took it out and it went into Nickows car with minimal vibes. In comparison, my new 70 duro mount has minimal vibes and seems to be getting better the more I drive it.

    In fact the other vibration that occurs in 6th seems to be greatly improved with the harder engine mount.

    Might have to consult a voodoo practitioner to explain this one.

    I had a 75duro, it was pretty harsh at the start, it gets ALOT better. A part of my dash was starting to rattle so I've just fitted the 60. The difference is night and day between the two. I've had my 60 on for 1 day and I can't tell it's there as far as vibes go.
