Tanabe Transmission Bushing : is it worth it.

[illreaxion]

do any of you have this on your car now? if so, how is it?

in general, do you think this is worth the 100 bucks it costs?

i dont have it (10 bones is a lot for a couple bits like that) however i reinforced my transmission mount with a $20 tube of windshield polyurethane glue. i get a little more vibes from it.

personally I would never spend that much money on something I can do myself. Buy a tube of this and fill up the same area for much less I got my tube last fall and am going to fill mine this spring its was 7-12 bucks or so.

^^

exactly what area would you fill that in?

[slow s13]

its the bottom area of the transmission bushing there is an empty space thats where the tanabe piece slides in, instead of sliding in that 100 piece of plastic you pump it full of urethane some people go all out and put it on top also if you look at the trans bushing youl see whats up.

heres a before and after pic. just squirt the stuff in there and pack it in real ggod. i suggest using gloves and not wearing something you dont mind ruining. once the urethane gets on stuff its a pain to get it off. also to help pack it in use an ice cube to spread/pack it in there. funny enough the stuff does not stick to ice.

you can also do your motor mounts the same way. just drill holes in the accordion looking section then fill that void with urethane. i dont have pics of these unfortunately.
