Description

These metal supports are equipped with vulcanized rubber that is intended to minimize the transmission of engine vibrations to the body and chassis for optimal comfort.

When the engine tilts excessively, leading to the worst-case scenario of the car spontaneously jumping out of gear, it is time to take a closer look at the gearbox supports.

Don’t think you are the only one with cracked rubber; the majority of our classics have experienced this issue, a typical sign of aging. It is therefore advisable to replace all rubbers during restoration. Your engine will need to be disassembled for this task, which is not something you would look forward to right after your first test drive. Most garages familiar with our classic Volkswagens will also recommend replacing the rubbers if, for any reason, the engine needs to be removed.

In addition to the standard rubbers, ‘rubbers’ made of urethane are also available for some models. This material strengthens the connection without compromising too much on comfort.
