Default Snub mount -- best bang for the buck

I've seen quite a number of posts of people commenting on the sloppy shifting of the B7 6 speed tranny. IMO, the APR snub is one of the most underrated mods that you can get for the B7! For only a $40-50 part, the snub mount made a world of difference! For the B7 folks with the 6 speed tranny, a lot of us feel that the shifting feels somewhat sloppy. After installing the snub mount, it shifts much more solidly now. During normal driving, I used to "baby" my shifts, but after installing the snub mount, I don't have to worry about that anymore. It shifts with authority and I don't worry or think about my shifts anymore. The shifter goes into all of the gears now perfectly.

I can't recommend the snub mount enough, and no, I have absolutely no affiliation to APR! haha

How easy is this to install? Can a regular joe do it or does it require a skilled tech?

The second half of this post talks about the install. I'll let you decide if this is something that you'd want to take on. The difficulty of the install is all relative to one's experience.

Thanks for the info. How will the car improve if I install this? Less vibration? What does it help?
