APR MS100140 Billet Stainless Steel/Aluminum Pendulum Mount MQB 6 Speed / DQ250
Vehicle Compatibility (MQB Platform)
Fits MQB vehicles equipped with:
- 6-speed manual transmission

- Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7)
- Audi A3 / S3 (8V)

Reduces transmission movement
By getting rid of the factory rubber bushing, the APR system reduces slop within the driveline to reinforce shifts, and transmission of power to the bottom.
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates excessive drivetrain slop
- Reduces wheel hop under hard acceleration
- Improves launch consistency
- Sharper, more direct shifts
- Better power transfer to the ground
This is the kind of upgrade you feel immediately.
Real Talk (NVH Warning)
- Expect increased vibration (NVH) at idle
- More drivetrain feel overall
Translation: less luxury, more performance. Exactly what you signed up for.
Be expecting a sportier feel right through acceleration, deceleration and gear changes without an over the top build up in NVH when paired with the factory sub-frame mount.
Why This Upgrade Matters
The factory mount is designed for:
- Comfort
- Smoothness
- Minimal vibration
Not for:
- Power
- Hard launches
- Aggressive driving
This mount fixes that.
Spherical bearing
Spherical bearings be offering some distance less unwanted movement over rubber and polyurethane inserts.
Installation
- Direct replacement for OEM pendulum mount
- Bolt-on installation
- Best paired with other drivetrain upgrades
Moderate install—but worth it.
Final Take
No added horsepower—but it finally lets you use all of it.
If you’re tuned, this isn’t optional. It’s necessary.
