Chassis stiffening - which parts are good?
#184
OK guys. I've noticed I have issues with changing gears at higher RPMs in higher gears..mostly the 4-5 shift and the 5-6 shift. It's like I have to let the drivetrain settle before making shifts from WOT. I'm assuming it's because the driveline is torquing over. Although I do have the Mazdacomp engine mounts i'm assuming because the diff. bushings are stock I'm not taking full advantage of the motor mounts. So I was looking into other bracing (being hopeful of coming across that Carbing transmission brace) and saw this from Beatrush.
Anyone think this would be helpful? Maybe along with the PPF brace?

I'm looking to get some results without pulling the diff as that is a low-priority job. It's easier to bolt up a brace or two. I'd rather spend 1/6th the time and net 1/2 or better positive change. I really want that Carbing brace though. Also, since my car is the daily, I don't think I want the NVH from the HD diff mounts.

The MMRs in my diff carrier are pretty solid and the NVH is not bad at all, and that's with Sav's old clutch-type diff installed. Solid engine mounts OTOH, fuggiddaboutit, couldn't stand that.

BTW, dtd, you mentioned the PPF brace, I think you mean this one from moss motors,
here Correct?
I've been told by a number of people its basically ****, and doesn't do much.
Ask SMR over yonder, he'll give you his 1st hand experience too. He's used a lot of these bolt on braces.
The carbing is a good brace, you can find it at autokonexion's site I think, still.
Also, try these guys for the carbing piece..
