ktec gearbox mount

[barker22]

can any1 explain to me y the uprated upper gearbox mount is almost £100 more expensive than oe equipment whereas the uprated engine mount is only £20 more expensive than oe.
im not trying to say it isnt worth it, just asking y the price varies so hugely.

Its made out of soild Caesium so thats why its more expensive.

Make sure you dont get it wet though.

^^ no that's what always happens to the OEM mounts every 650 miles.. :clown:

These mounts were specificly designed and probably not in very great numbers, so automatically expensive . Plus K-tec is a healthy business wanting healthy profits.

ye i appreciate that but - y does the expensive engine mount made from more expensive material only cost an extra £20, whereas the gearbox £17 oe mount cost almost an extra £100. it just doesnt seem right.

fitting standard mounts just doesnt seem right :rasp:

There's alot more to the upper gearbox mount that k-tec do compared to standard upper gearbox mount. If you look at them both you can see there's quite a difference. Although like you say it is very pricey.

the gearbox mount renault make is a design fault.
ktecs gearbox mount has a steel sleve inside so its a lot more hard wearing.

design costs + healthy profits
