Product Details
This Whiteline Front Gearbox Mount Side Support Insert Bushing Kit fits the 2002-2006 Mini Cooper. Placement: front. Order it as part number W93522. Whiteline's note for this fit: Recommended for motorsport use or for customers willing to tolerate some additional NVH. Included: 2 bushings.
The transmission is held in the chassis by a mount that absorbs vibration. A soft or worn mount lets the gearbox rock when you shift or get on and off the throttle, which feels like a jerk, a clunk, or a delay. A firmer mount or bushing limits that motion. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Cooper: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
