Under hard acceleration, your entire engine and transmission rotate due to excessive compliance in the soft factory bushings. While these stock rubber bushings do an adequate job of damping engine vibration, they simultaneously create a rubbery, vague powertrain response that saps performance. The NEUSPEED Torque Arm Insert is engineered to work in perfect harmony with the original equipment (OE) rubber bushing. By filling the factory voids, this high-performance insert sharpens throttle response and delivers significantly crisper, more defined shifts on both manual and automatic transmission vehicles.
Features
-
Street-Friendly Performance: Molded from 65A durometer urethane, offering the ideal balance of enhanced powertrain rigidity without excessive cabin noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH).
-
Sharper Drivability: Drastically reduces engine rock and drivetrain movement to optimize power transfer to the wheels.
-
Dual-Transmission Compatibility: Enhances driving dynamics across both manual and automatic (DSG/Tiptronic) gearboxes.
-
Retains OE Bushing: Installs directly into the voids of your factory rubber mount, ensuring a cost-effective and straightforward upgrade.
-
Two Distinct Options: Available in V1 or V2 designs to guarantee a precision fitment across different factory mount geometries.

-
Drivetrain Characteristic: Because urethane is inherently stiffer than factory rubber, you may notice a slight increase in engine vibration at idle.
-
TDI Exception: Due to the higher natural compression frequencies of diesel engines, this insert is not recommended for TDI vehicles.
