I just had the UUC black neoprene trans mounts installed,
and the fluid changed to Royal Purple Synchromax.
To put it in simple terms.... HOLY SCHIT!!!!!
1st the mounts.
Even with the black neoprene there is some NVH transmitted to the cabin.
BUT, it is very mild.
You notice it a bit starting off and at a couple of points in the RPM range.
I kind of like it actually, it makes the car feel like even more of a raw beast.
Additionally my exhaust sounds even better.
If you like to keep things silky smooth you may find it
mildly annoying.
I would be willing to bet that my co-pilot would not notice the difference though.
Performance wise, the shifter feels rock solid now.
It's amazing just how much movement there was before the upgrade & is now gone.
It makes finding the gates much easier and precise.
definitely a
mod.
- can't wait for my next track day
The tranny fluid.
I could not be more happy with the difference that the Synchromax made.
It makes a HUGE difference in the way the tranny feels going through the gears.
It feels light and precise, much less rubbery.
The synchro engagement feels so much smoother.
It also feels like there are less losses in the tranny.
It's surprising but the car just feels like it is pulling harder.
On another note;
My tech suspects that the fluid has never been changed.
My car definitely had the 1200 inspection done, but it looks like they didn't bother with the tranny.
I should have suspected this because when I did the diff fluid previously & it looked bad too.
Guys... with these two changes the car drives soooo much better.
It has far exceeded my expectations.
