Description
Overview
Shifting as it should be. The AWE Tuning Drive Train Stabilizer (DTS) is a manual transmission mount engineered to eliminate the excessive engine and transmission torsional movement found in these Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. By locking down that unwanted drivetrain flex, the DTS transforms the way your car puts power to the pavement — delivering phenomenal throttle response, crisper and more precise shifts, and more power to the ground.
Machined in-house from T6-6061 aircraft aluminum, the DTS pairs serious structural strength with a genuinely lightweight design. The entire unit weighs just 6 lbs, so you gain drivetrain stability without adding meaningful mass. A high durometer rubber bushing manages the connection between chassis and drivetrain, tightening up the feel behind the wheel while keeping the install clean and predictable.
Key Benefits
Once installed, the difference is immediately obvious. Torsional slop that once softened your inputs is gone, so the throttle responds instantly and every gear change lands with authority. If you particularly enjoy “heel-and-toe” downshifting, you will be amazed at how much easier and more repeatable that action becomes with a stabilized drivetrain underneath you.
- CNC machined from T6-6061 aircraft aluminum for strength and precision
- High durometer rubber bushing for a tighter, more connected drivetrain feel
- Lightweight 6 lb design that stabilizes without adding bulk
- Bolts directly to factory undercarriage mounting points — no adjustments or modifications required
- Fits without clearance issues alongside any exhaust system currently on the market
- 100% fit, 0 vibrations from the standard rubber configuration
Choosing Your Mount
Configure the DTS to match how you drive. For hardcore racers, the polyurethane mount for manual transmissions gives your car an even more solid connection to the drivetrain, at the expense of some vibration transmitted through the chassis — a trade-off dedicated track drivers gladly accept for maximum feedback. If your car serves dual roles as a daily driver and a track toy, order your DTS with both the polyurethane mount and the replacement rubber mount to enjoy the best of both worlds. Swap between a comfortable street setup and a stiffened race setup whenever you like.
Fitment & Installation
The DTS bolts directly to the undercarriage using existing factory mounting points, so installation is straightforward with no cutting or modification needed. All required hardware is included. It carries a Fit Guarantee, requires no tune, and is backed by a No CEL Guarantee. The DTS is voluntarily labeled 50 State Legal, making it a bolt-on drivetrain upgrade you can run with confidence.
Whether you’re chasing quicker shifts on the street or a rock-solid connection at the track, the AWE Tuning DTS is a purpose-built manual transmission mount designed to make your Audi or Volkswagen shift the way it always should have.
