Hi, just thought I'd share my experience of fitting an uprated pitching control rod/upper gearbox mount. It's an ally jobbie, with polyurethane bushes. I wanted to reduce the front/back movement of the engine, due to the later tmic being close to the bulkhead.
Well, when i started the car i thought there was a serious problem, the noise of the starter was really loud! On driving, gearbox noise was greatly increased, i can't believe how changing one bush can make so much extra noise.
The bonus mind, the car seems to pick up better, i assume this is due to the engine not moving(?) giving instant response.
I'm in two minds to ditch it, see how i get on.
I've never read this before, just thought I'd post this for anyone thinking of doing the same.

I fitted the up-rated engine and gearbox mount set from Bren @ Apex.

The whine from the gearbox was a bit of a shock, (driver whine started shortly after LOL).

P.S. Gear change felt much more positive and my headers stopped trying to headbutt the bodywork....
