The pms linkage with bearings is as good as it gets for the jc5, hardly any play compared to the crap oem bushes. Add a set of vibratechnic engine/gearbox mounts and poly dogbone whilst doing it, once the engine is solid its bang on.
...the back. Removed axle spacers on the rear beam, fitted 20mm spacers all round, fitted a genuine front splitter, whiteline rear arb, vibratechnics gearbox mount to go with the engine mount. Fresh oil and filter + gearbox oil. Lambda sensor, new ns2rs all round on the OzF1s. Geometry sorted...
Bought a set of mounts from a member on here but unsure if it’s all there for the gearbox mount. Can see online that there appears to be another part but I don’t have it
This is what I have
A pic I found on the internet
Also, which way does it go? On the Vibra website they don’t have...
It depends what you mean by "jerk".
With a responsive normally aspirated 2.0L firmly mounted engine, I`d be disappointed if I could not feel a punch when you get back on the power.
As long as you cannot feel any movement in the gear lever on and off the throttle @5000 rpm in the 3rd gear, I...
So my car has vibratechnic engine/gearbox mounts and an evol mount ( all less than a year old) and black series bushes everywhere else. For as long as I can remember the car seems to 'jerk' between upward gear changes. I tried pulling the engine forward a while back and this did seem to improve...

Mine with vibratechnics mounts fitted pretty much feels like oem when driving no extra vibration. All i basically done when fitting was leave mounts bolted up but loose, let engine idle for 5 mins to find its own sweet spot then torqued them up.
The vibratechnics mounts are alright to be fair, no massive vibration on idle etc on mine. Quite compliant compared to solid mounts which i have ran on other cars.
New gearbox mount should sort it out though.
Ah great. I've a new one sitting but I just couldn't be arsed fitting it as it started to rain a bit. I'll get them swapped tonight or over the weekend and let you know how I get on.
I was tempted by a second hand set of vibratechnic mounts but as its a road car I didn't want the dash to rattle...
Gearbox mount probably knackered when you remove it. Mine used to move a bit with powerflex dog bone and new top mount. Gearbox mount was shot when removed.
Replaced both top mount and gearbox mount for vibratechnics. One of the best mods i have done to be fair
1. Vibratechnics Engine & Gearbox Mounts
1. Bilstein B14 Kit
1. Bush refresh
1. Nylon Rack Bushes
1. Decent tyres
Those are all you need.
And yes, they're all #1.
Managed to get a few hours on it on Sat
Vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts on, excuse the rusty bolts did not have time to tart up
Espace V6 airbox on. Tight as feck to get in even with ph1 airbox pipe ! Just need to connect a cold air feed to it - @Ricardos has kindly sent me some over so...
So just thought I’d update this as I finally had the time (motivation) to take a look at it. As mentioned, I had some vibratechnic engine and gearbox mounts to fit, which I fitted today and in doing so noticed a number of loose bolts (some were not even hand tight). Mounts fitted and all bolts...
Keeping it as close to Group N as possible so apart from diff which is MFactory via @pure-motorsport and vibratechnics engine mountsl all is Renault. It has a custom cages weld in cage. RRS from France fire extinguisher system, harnesses and steering wheel. Cobra seats. The suspension is all new...
7:30pm job done and absolutely knackered due to heat and lack of food. Looks ok though and free
I had planned to collect a pair of ktec/vibratechnics mounts in Darlington so straight in the clio to get them after fitting dash ended up getting food at 10pm lol. My engine has a bit of a rock now...
Ok cheers, gonna be pricey then!!
That would be a nice result if so. I have some vibratechnic mounts to fit so going to try those at the weekend and give it a spanner check.
I drove my Clio daily with Vibratechnics and a Powerflex black dogbone. BecauseHero.
It was bloody awful in reality but, when I drive it now, I love how silly it feels.

Does your gearstick move when putting your foot down?
I'm running a vibratechnic solid mount purely for the fact everything else is solid. I think gearbox wise OEM brand new can be decent. It's whether you take the punt and fit and forget solid. Your choice!
I'd take a look at the polybushed...
...recommend this setup to anyone wanting a decent fast road Clio, Cooksport springs, Cup shocks front and rear, polybushed throughout, Vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts, Whiteline ARB and the Avon ZV7 tyres are superb for the money, we've had plenty of rain recently and even up and down...
The setup on mine is decent, although it is fully polybushed as well as having the Vibratechnics mounts however suspension wise it has Cup shocks and Cooksport springs.
7x15" wheel with a 195/50/15 tyre, I won't recommend anything as tyres are a personal preference I've found but spend as much...
