Have fitted hundreds. Quite harsh, but not as harsh as Vibratechnics ones.

A necessity for any 4wd YB with over 300BHP IMO.

Unless iof course you enjoy busting driveshafts all the time.

Stu,
Vibratechnics do two versions - competition and fast road - not many people are aware of that... .

Mine has the competitoion ones in and I think it is more than bearable (however, under no circumstances fit the gearbox one if you like your fillings to remain where they should be )

Take it off, put the standard one back on and normal service WILL be resumed . If you look one MY website, I even advise people NOT To fit this (even if it means I am losing the profit from the sale of it ).

I haven't got it!!!

I used to just have the engine ones. But there was a long gap between it being on the road with just the engine ones, to when I got it back with the gearbox one as well. So I couldn't remember how bad it was!!!

When we crashed on the Gumball and I lay there with my face hanging off and a broken back I actually remember thinking to myself just before I passed out...

'' fook... I can't feel my feet but at least I don't have to put up with that fooking Vibratechnics gearbox mount any more!''
