bringing this ***** back from the dead...just installed mines and what a pain in the ***...didn't think it would be this bad...it rattles a bit but the shifts are smooth and the rear diff clunk is gone as far as I can tell...what has me worried and I want to know if this happened to you guys is that I can hear the transmission really loud now...I mean they are loud trannies as is but wow now I can hear everything...on decel I can hear the tranny...is this normal? I mean idk it's weird...

 

That trans noise increase is normal. Mine did the same.

 

damn the **** sounds crazy lol...the car performs great with these mounts but there's vibrations...does solid mount put more stress on the transmission?

 

Ok guys wtf? Got the trans one on, now engine side won't line up. Lower mount was on, now off with same issue.

 

Nvm. Had to lower motor, bolt in the raise engine bolts into mount.

 

I just installed the mounts as well. Did the pass first & then the drivers side. The job was a bit tougher than I thought. Had to disconnect the center motor beam as well

Im running only 3 of the mounts. Roll stop / trans & passenger side mount. Heard running the rear fire wall mount transmitted way too much NVH

 

ya I installed all 4... This **** was no joke...mines didn't line up for **** lol

 

Bump for posterity

Called TS who said I am supposed to use OEM hardware with install and no need to modify or use larger bolts. The ID of the sleeves being larger than OEM is not an issue per them.

For reference I have PN: TS-EV-1236

Emailed me back also:

Hello,

I recently purchased TS-EV-1236 from a dealer of yours. This is for my 05 Evolution MR 6 Speed.

I noticed the sleeves on the front and rear bushings have an ID which is much larger than the OEM mount. I did not receive any instructions for installation. I thought they were OEM replacement. Do you know if your pieces call for a larger bolt or any modification of the OEM mount?

Respectfully,

Marc

to me

The sleeve ID is slightly larger to have a little wiggle room for adjustment, as it gets really tight once all 4 mounts are installed. Once the mount is bolted down there is no issues.



Thanks.

 

Once again, I love these mounts but installation was a pita...nothing lined up...ready thy anus...
