Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Manual Transmission Mount is a precision-engineered upgrade for Audi and Volkswagen drivers who demand a more direct, connected feel behind the wheel. Machined from T6-6061 aircraft aluminum, this Chassis Bracing mount replaces the factory rubber mount to tighten the connection between your drivetrain and chassis. For more extreme uses than daily driving alone, this is the DTS mounting kit built to keep your powertrain planted when you push harder.
Whether you’re stepping up from soft rubber mounts in search of a more rigid driving experience, or replacing an existing DTS setup that uses poly mounts, this kit delivers a noticeably more solid feel. The trade-off is honest and expected: a firmer connection transmits some additional vibration through the chassis, which is exactly what enthusiasts chasing crisp shifts and reduced drivetrain slop are after.
Key Benefits
By anchoring the transmission more rigidly, the mount reduces the play that rubber components allow under acceleration and hard cornering. That translates to a more composed, purposeful driving character — the kind of tightened response that rewards spirited driving and track use. Because it’s constructed from T6-6061 aircraft aluminum, it’s engineered to hold up to the demands of aggressive driving while maintaining consistent geometry.

Fitment
Engineered for Audi and Volkswagen manual transmission applications, this mount serves as either an upgrade path from the standard rubber mounts or a direct replacement for a DTS setup running poly mounts. Carrying a Voluntary Label of 50 State Legal, it’s positioned for enthusiasts who want a more aggressive, connected driveline without a required tune.
Choose this AWE Tuning mount when you’re ready to trade a little extra vibration for a meaningfully more solid, engaging connection between engine, transmission and chassis.
