TopLine Performance Solid Rear Transmission Mount | VW Beetle

Short answer: This is the Topline Performance solid rear transmission mount for the VW Beetle in Satin Black powdercoat — 26 oz (1.6 lb), built for street and off-road use and compact enough to clear street header systems.

Experience the perfect balance of rugged durability and precision engineering. While traditional "off-road" solid mounts are often unnecessarily bulky and heavy, the TopLine Performance Mount is designed for the serious driver who demands high-strength support without the dead weight or clearance headaches.
