Default Pfadt - Powertrain Mounts

Pfadt Race Engineering -- Powertrain Mounts

Pfadt Race Engineering would like to introduce our full line up of C5 and C6 powertrain mounts. Engineered in house and tested on our vehicles, these powertrain mounts reduce the massive powertrain shake (sometimes mistaken as wheel hop) that is common in the C5 and C6.

An excellent solution for high horsepower or high performance Corvettes, we've approached these mounts as a complete system to limit unnecessary movement. The soft stock mounts allow power-robbing movement that shakes the car and can break parts. Constructed with 6061 T6 aluminum and anodized for durability, pair the engine mounts with our Transmission mounts for an unbeatable package.

Will the transmission mount be compatible with the DTE strut brace that a lot of guys are already running? Thanks, Rain

I have not had a chance to fit one on a car with the DTE Mount. However, I do not see any problem with interference between the two products. I will try and get one fitted with the DTE mount ASAP and let you know definitively.

There will be an increase in engine vibration transmitted to the chassis. That is the trade off in this particular product. I have been driving around our C6Z with both the engine and trans mounts and I wouldn't say that it is too harsh. At idle is really the only time that I notice the vibration increase, once the car is rolling road noise is far more dominate. This is all a matter of personal opinion and if you are already concerned about the stock mounts transmitting too much engine vibration then I would not suggest this upgrade.


Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions! We are more then happy to talk to our customers!
