Description:
NEUSPEED® Engine Torque Damper Bushing - Under hard acceleration, your entire engine and transmission actually rotates due to compliance in the factory bushings. While the soft factory bushings do a good job of damping engine vibration, they can also create a rubbery, vague response in the vehicle’s powertrain.
NEUSPEED® offers a set of two urethane bushings to go into your car’s lower engine torque arm. The torque arm connects the front subframe to the bottom of the car’s transmission. With the NEUSPEED® bushings installed, you car’s throttle response will feel better and your shifts will feel more crisp and defined on both manual and automatic transmission cars.
Fits: 1.9L TDI, 2.0L 8V, 1.8T and VR6 engines equipped in 1998-later Beetle
• Golf IV
• Jetta IV
• Audi TT.
• Urethane durometer: 70A
Note: Urethane is not as compliant as rubber. As a result, you may notice a slight increase in ride harshess and engine vibration after installation.

Based in Camarillo, California, Neuspeed was one of the first aftermarket brand names to capitalize on the custom import car scene. Starting out in the late 1970s with a focus on VW performance parts, Neuspeed has been a family run business for over 35 years. Now, with all of that industry experience under their belt, they have significantly expanded their lineup to include products for many of the most popular sport compact cars on the market today. It has long been the Neuspeed philosophy to provide the best possible parts without cutting quality in order to reduce prices. So while you may pay a bit extra, you know that you are getting a part that fits and works properly. In addition they believe in creating modular components that allow you to customize and tune your car in stages according to your individual budget and goals. It is this type of forward thinking that has propelled Neuspeed to the front of the pack.
Q: What is an engine torque damper? Why buy one?
A: According to Ingalls, "An engine torque damper is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering for improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and suspension, is a formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. They eliminate the huge amounts of torque shock that result from wheel-hop and once installed they transfer more power to the road and improves acceleration, shifting, overall control and balance."
Q: Will an engine torque damper help prevent motor mounts from wearing out faster?
A: Engine torque dampers can definitely help prevent premature engine mount wear, although they are mostly used to help eliminate torque shock from wheel-hop and to help keep more power to the road.
