Solid Weld-In Transmission Mid Mount | VW Type 1, 2 & 3
Eliminate transmission flex and drivetrain slop with a solid weld-in mid mount for your classic Volkswagen. Where the factory rubber mount allows the transaxle to shift under load — costing you crisp shifts and putting stress on your linkage — this solid mount locks the transmission firmly to the chassis for a tighter, more direct driveline.
A favorite for street-performance, off-road, and race builds where precise, repeatable shifting matters.
Choose Your Base
Available in two versions to match your chassis — select straight base or curved base at checkout:
Straight Edge Base — for flat mounting surfaces
Curved Edge Base — contoured to fit the factory chassis curve
Why Go Solid
Crisper shifts: No rubber flex means the shift linkage stays in spec under acceleration and braking.
Stronger driveline: Keeps the transaxle planted for performance and off-road abuse.
Weld-in durability: Becomes a permanent, rigid part of the chassis.

Installation Note
Weld-in installation for experienced fabricators. A solid mount transmits more vibration into the chassis than the factory rubber mount — expected and normal for a performance solid mount.
