Tranny mounts... DP's? Anything I can throw in to save a bit of $$ in the long run?

Default not sure yet. I will have to have some installed though and I'm wondering if I should put in -

anything else while I'm at it if it'll save me anything in the future.

Default If you bring it to a shop who have done them before.....

Expect, at least, 5 hours labor. Trans mounts, snub mount and right motor mount are reasonably easy, but the left motor mount is a bear, to put it mildly.

Brace yourself for a big labor charge, Those things are a serious PITA on a 2.7T in car...

Default Do you recommend I do trans mounts along with the MM's or does it not make

a difference labor wise?

Default you meant the one on the drive side ? ha we get that done in 15 minutes

my and my friend replace both mount and drill bigger hole for the top took us like 40 minutes all together to replace both mount.

alot of people will take everything from the top to replace it, we take it out from the bottom, then put a nice heavy duty strap around the mount like a ring and turn it
