We just released our new New MQB Performance Transmission Mount, and customer feedback has been awesome!




The Black Forest Industries Complete Replacement Transmission Mount has been a long time in the making. We've spent countless hours of R&D and road testing to bring this total solution to market. We're confident that this is the the most robust, most durable, and best performing transmission mount available for the MQB platform, period. Available in two different durometers to suit any driving style, with its indestructible billet aluminum brackets machined right here in-house!

The factory transmission mount equipped from Volkswagen was never meant to handle the stress and abuse that comes from the increased torque and horsepower in a tuned vehicle. We commonly see failures and worn bushings at very low mileage on cars that are even just driven spiritedly on the streets. It doesn't take a track car to warrant upgrading your mounts, and many people will not believe how big of a difference it will make in the way that your car feels. Many will describe as a night and day difference, and most are often surprised at just how much this part is taken for granted.

Functionally a stiffer mount will limit engine and transmission movement, which will in turn allow more power to be transmitted to the wheels. Essentially you are freeing up wasted horsepower and effectively making your car faster. In addition to improving power transfer, in manual cars in particular your shifting will feel more crisp and deliberate as there will be less delay coming on and off throttle while engaging your clutch.






Prevent excessive engine movement with these upgraded engine mounts. Even new factory mounts are not up to the task of handling the increased power from even lightly modified engines (software) and often they start to fail within less than 10k miles. Our billet and polyurethane replacement engine mounts will keep your motor firmly planted in place and help you transfer as much power to the ground as possible, while also improving shifting. Their durable materials and construction will also ensure that they will hold up far better than OEM engine mounts can.

STAGE 1 ENGINE MOUNT:
With its 70a durometer bushings are geared towards the spirited enthusiast who wants better control over motor movement without the sacrifice of excessive vibrations. This are the best choice for daily-driven vehicles and are recommended for majority of our customers.

STAGE 2
With its 85a durometer bushings these are for the enthusiast who is looking for maximum performance from his motor mounts - great for heavily modified street cars and track cars. Expect a noticeable increase in noise, vibration and harshness when adding Stage 2 mounts to your vehicle.

is there any downside to upgrading just the transmission mount on the dsg R? instead of doing both engine and trans at the same time?
