Description
Overview
Shifting as it should be. The AWE Tuning Drive Train Stabilizer (DTS) for Audi and Volkswagen is engineered to eliminate the excessive engine and transmission torsional movement found in these vehicles. By locking down that unwanted drivetrain motion, this manual transmission mount transforms the way your car puts power to the ground — delivering phenomenal throttle response, crisper and more precise shifts, and a more connected feel from the moment you engage the clutch.
Part of AWE Tuning’s Chassis Bracing lineup, the DTS bolts directly to the undercarriage of the vehicle using existing factory mounting points. There are no adjustments or modifications required, so installation is straightforward and completely reversible. Hardware is included, and no tune is required to run it.
Precision Materials & Construction
The DTS is CNC machined in-house from T6-6061 aircraft aluminum and paired with a high durometer rubber bushing. The entire unit tips the scales at a lightweight 6 lbs, adding drivetrain control without meaningful weight penalty. AWE designed it to fit without clearance issues alongside any exhaust system currently on the market — 100% fit, 0 vibrations.
Rubber-Mount Comfort, Agile Response
For drivers looking for performance with a bit more comfort than the poly mount option, this rubber-mount configuration delivers a still-agile experience without the rigidity of the poly mounts. It’s the sweet spot for enthusiasts who want sharper mechanical feedback while retaining a more refined, livable ride. If you particularly enjoy “heel-and-toe” downshifting, you’ll be amazed at how much easier and more repeatable that action becomes once the DTS is controlling drivetrain slop.
