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

No problems with any of the others mate! I think these are made to go first, Cant believe how much better it feels! :approve:
172 mount is £37 from reno
Megane Trophy, Golf
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.
EK4 SIR CIVIC 185 BHP

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!

Anyone else changed this recently? and did it make much difference?
Megane Trophy, Golf
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.
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.
850 T5. mmmm Turbo!
mine lasted about a week b4 going back to being shite and falling out of gear when i brake hard!
Mazda MX5 1.8
i assume they dont sell a cheaper version at anywhere like gsf?
Megane Trophy, Golf
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!

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

Its what renault said! they have to order the cup ones from renault sport in france! they said that they not same as 172! Fred do you know owt about this? :approve:
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.
Tell them to try agaian. Renault sport framce who are they kidding there a stock UK part.
