Fitting 034 transmission mount, without a ramp?

[Russboy]

Santa got me the Chinese version and i've found fitting instructions here:

http://store.034motorsport.com/docs...ne&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=034-509-4014

Am I mad considering trying to do it without having access to a ramp?
Will I need to remove any plastic trays from under the car?
Where exactly is it? By that I mean running from the front to the back of the car is it in line with the front wheels, front door handles etc? That way if I do fit it without a ramp I can work if I need to get the front of the car really high etc.

Cheers,

Russ

You don’t need to get the front of the car massively high, just high enough that you can get under it, you don’t have to take off any covers at all and it’s just behind the front axle really.

Great, thanks.

Now just need the frost to clear so I can go and do it!

 

[Russboy]

Decided not safe to do it unless I can get it on a proper ramp.

 

[RyanJonS4]

I wouldn’t try it with a side jack, but if you can get hold of a trolly jack and some axle stands it’s safe enough

Why not? If the car is adequately supported on GOOD axle stands (not the cheapest Halfords specials for £5.99) then it is plenty safe. Doesn't need to be on a proper garage 2-post or 4-post ramp.

 

[Russboy]

Yeah I've got a 3 tonne trolley jack and axle stands under the sills.

Didn't like that so jacked it up and put the front wheels on portable ramps about 20cm high, still didn't like it.

 

[Russboy]

Doesn't help I'm quite a large lump!

 

[Dippy]

The sills can get damaged on axle stands.

I just fitted the Chinese version yesterday. Jacked up the car on the right, i was able to reach without going underneath. Very easily accessble. Took about 5 mins to do.

 

[Russboy]

Hmmm, I was trying from the passenger side, but looked to me to be slap bang in the middle?

 

[TimberVD]

Jacking the car up only on one side proved to be an issue on mine and one of the bolts decided to not come out and snap. Think it was the angle of the gearbox putting strain on the bolt. Fun. I'd recommend putting axle stands on both sides.

Did try with them yesterday but was trying from the passenger side. Will now try from the drivers side. Will also have the ramps sitting on scaffold boards to give extra height.

 

[Russboy]

Got the ramps out again, attacked from the drivers side, spray of WD40 onto the bolts & 5 mins later they were off, then bolted mount in & all done.

 

[glenandem]

Do these make a big difference guys?

 

[jdp1962]

Do these make a big difference guys?

I'd say they make a small difference but a worthwhile one.

 

[ruairi83]

Got one here for sale if you need one.

 

[glenandem]

What do they exactly help, I noticed when I pull up at traffic lights sometimes I find it difficult to get 1st gear and have to try a few times, could this help this issue?

 

[jdp1962]

It’s mostly about reducing shunt on down changes.

 

[Carlos85]

The shift just feels generally more solid and positive and when you are in the higher gears pushing on you get less shunt in the drivetrajn when you change

Got one off eBay a while back, much less of a jolt when going down in to first gear.
Took 15 minutes to install

Yep agreed, exactly what I found.
