Changed me dog's bone!

[172cupwizard]

As above, and what a difference its made! Car feels so much tighter and smoother gear change.... Anyone else noticed a big difference?

 

[mach10]

did you have a problem with engine mounts also to make you change this?

 

[Djw John]

I did this on my megane coupe and put a 172 mount on instead, 100 times better to drive now!

 

[172cupwizard]

did you have a problem with engine mounts also to make you change this?

No problems with any of the others mate! I think these are made to go first, Cant believe how much better it feels! :approve:

 

[mach10]

i need to do it also lol how much did it cost? cheers

 

[tommyboy]

yeah as above. how much in total to get it sorted?

 

[Djw John]

172 mount is £37 from reno

 

[172cupwizard]

yeah as above. how much in total to get it sorted?

Got it supplied and fitted for £45 notes! Its quite easy to fit though. I think the cup one is different to the normal 172 one! Not 100% sure so dont quote me on that LOL.

Yeah my mates a mechanic so got him to fit it for a tenner! I still cant believe how much difference a bone makes lol! Feels like a new car, and the gear change feels so much sweeter and solid!

 

[172cupwizard]

Anyone else changed this recently? and did it make much difference?

 

[Rob_]

Did you just refit a standard one or have you fitted the uprated one which ktec do?

Put the cup one on! I think its different to normal 172's! Ktec ones not really good for road, makes it really harsh and weakens other mounts.

 

[caymanr26]

makes what harsh - ive got a k-tec one and its great - far better than standard - changed mine when the car was only about 6 months old and was well worth it.

 

[philmots]

think i mite invest in one of these for when it gets serviced.. buyin 4 new turinis too.. new lease of life!!!

 

[philmots]

and.... cant imagine why the cup one should be any different, can anyone confirm this!!!

 

[bmh.01]

makes what harsh - ive got a k-tec one and its great - far better than standard - changed mine when the car was only about 6 months old and was well worth it.

Ditto, i've powerflex bushed mine and its waaaay better than standard. The box is much nicer to use, just a bit of increased vibration here and there.

 

[Harry_manback]

mine lasted about a week b4 going back to being shite and falling out of gear when i brake hard!

 

[clio__chris]

i assume they dont sell a cheaper version at anywhere like gsf?

your comparing it to a 1.6 mounting! the cup setup is a lot stiffer as standard. uprated bushes might make a bit of difference on a ff 172 as the setup is different to the cup but i dont want it any harsher, roads are crap round here! so staying with oem mounts!

 

[172cupwizard]

what model is your clio? get a 172 mount (dog bone) should be a lot better and last longer, have you checked other mounts!

 

[edde]

and.... cant imagine why the cup one should be any different, can anyone confirm this!!!

There the same 172 and Cup ones

 

[KDF]

Ye.. was gonna say, what made you think the cup ones was differnt lol ? same engine, same mounts etc.

Also fitted the powerflex bush and it was well worth it totally changed the car for the better.

 

[G man582]

Changed mine last week got poly bushes in it now and what a diffrance love it a bit rought on idle but so what gear stick not all over the place and no more knocking so good infact i am away to replace all bushes on the front ie wishbone and anti roll bushes with polys ones

Well it has a 172 dogbone mount from the factory so i'd imagine the results would be very similar. Whether the front gearbox mount on the RS would make a difference I don't know, but it can't make that much of one as people complain about it.

 

[RacerStu]

I had mine replaced about 3 weeks ago. Deffo feels much better, better gear change. Cost me £60 altogether with fitting.
