Other guys have had trouble with pull out. I believe they installed washers between the CV cup and the spindle. ---

MikeKC’s set up looks good.Easy and cheep. My car with Rodneys anti vibration Mounts work real nice I have Over 1000 miles on them and They are doing awesome. I’ll do a B4 and after test when Dave’s Mount kit gets her. Dave’s stuff usually turn out simple and effective so I look forward to trying it out. ---

Delivered on the 12th. I only have 1/4" washer on the bottom for reasons stated above. It won’t be as effective as thicker. ---

@grantwest @Inwo Grant You should try the skateboard bushings on Dave’s and compare it to Rodney’s mounts on your car. I am just curious on the sound dampening. I have nothing to compare the sound to? I think I am using Med firmness or like 88 or 87 was the number that was on the box. You should be able to pickup a set at any hipster skateboard shop, probably a popular as Starbucks in SanFran 🙂 ---

The transmission in Dave’s blue car seem Especially Loud. So it’s not a good comparison I’m sure his car would have been or should have been a factory Recall cause this thing Screams. I’ll wait till Dave’s get here and decide if the skate board bushings are more stout and then decide what way to go. ---

Grant got my parts last week. I have a problem comparing as my truck was not that noisy to start. Unless it sounded like a screaming cat under the hood, I wouldn’t notice. My bushings are quite soft. Only slightly firmer that grommets. ---

Check the caster on your front wheels. Not enough caster can cause a vehicle to not want to return to straight and dart and you would have to watch it constantly. ---

One off for testing, using materials on hand. Not expected to be effective as Rodneys. Quick and easy with no disassemble and minimum displacement of gearbox. [Previous page](https://community.electricforum.com/t/gearbox-conversion/19836.md?page=1)
