What Laszlo said. It's noticeable everywhere, but most easily reproduced in 4-6th gear

Just roll onto throttle and let off suddenly, then quickly give it throttle again. You'll feel a big shift in the driveline both as you let off and get back on.

With the torque mount + Apikol diff mount, I don't feel this anymore. There is still some slop/bounciness in lower gears when shifting or starting from a stop, something I hope the transmission mounts (and maybe their new diff carrier) will completely eliminate.

        This is exactly what I feel. Order going in to 034 soon. Their trans mounts are great on my b5s4 - ragdoll 2015-03-07 01:23:55 (227 views)

  - See my link below. The only thing it states that is RS4 specific is inspecting the belt more often. - ragdoll 2015-02-27 17:50:43 (253 views)
    - Yep, misread the line there. - Laszlo@034 2015-02-27 17:52:37 (226 views)
