    Upgraded tranny mounts

    Are any of you guys using upgraded tranny mounts on your RS6's. Just woundering if they even need upgraded ones at all?

    I am using the Apikol tranny and rear Diff mounts. I am using the street density which is still stiffer than stock. Didn't want their race ones which are a bit stiffer.

    I have the diff mount and carrier bushings in blue (i.e., race). There is a noticeable transmission of differential vibrantion/resonance at certain rpms.

    Waiting on the trans mounts when the 01e goes in...

    I think the Red ones are the ones I have. Stopped at a light in Drive idling you feeling some vibration, if you kick it in neutral it completely goes away, just a couple hundred RPM's away from smoothness. I do feel it tightens up the drivetrain though.

    My stock ones had broken, so I also have the Apikol reds. Same vibration when in gear on brake, nothing in neutral or when driving.
