Cts Torque Arm Insert

28000 kilometer

What this is, is an attachment that stiffens the transmission mount. It actually doesn't replace the current mount only adds to it. The mount is the same for both DSG and Manual but in 2016 there was a change in the mount design and there are two versions. What this mount does is reduce the movement of the transmission.

Install is simple yet could be problematic if you are not careful. Its just taking out the easily accessed bolt and putting on the mount and torquing down the bolt again. What you need to make sure of is that the trans itself doesn't shift during this process or you will have a hard time getting it back on. Its best to do the install on a level surface due to this.  Reinstall the bolt and torque to 74ft/lbs (100 Nm)! Simple as that

After install I noticed a bit more vibrations, which are totally expected. Specifically I notice them during acceleration. Its not a lot of vibration but definitely noticeable. Shifting though is amazing now, everything is so crisp. Since I have a DSG I also noticed that when in Sport downshifting from 2 to 1 does not have that nasty harsh clunk feeling it did before.
