Powerflex gearbox bush inserts :notagree: Awful.

Only my opinion obviously, but I hated them.

They tightened the box up nicely enough, but The vibration through the car on acceleration was unbearable. Removed after 100 miles.


A new front bush is the way to go :thumb:

The ones you fit were the original design. I contacted powerflex after having the same issue so they redesigned them to illiminate the vibration. That was later on in 2017 when you fit them in March 2017.

You don't get the same issue with them anymore.

I fitted the original thick ones first and then removed them within 100 miles and just binned them.

I think it was on here I saw the thread about getting the thinner replacements so sent a copy of my invoice to david at powerflex and they replaced them with the thinner walled ones. They were also in around 100 miles before being removed and it was them i sold for £5.

The first set were hideous, the second were just awful in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, lovey tight feel, just awful to drive with.


But hey, only £25 i suppose, he can give them a try for himself :thumbs:

I modifed the original ones a la infrasilver and it totally removed any NVH.

How difficult is it to change the bush please?

Not too hard. I did it on ramps on my drive in under 2 hours.
