{"product_id":"front-transmission-mount-1","title":"Front Transmission Mount","description":"Restoring the structural integrity of your air-cooled Volkswagen's drivetrain begins with a reliable foundation, and a fresh Front Transmission Mount is critical for smooth shifting and engine stability. Over time, original rubber mounts can degrade due to oil saturation, heat, and dry rot, leading to a \"sloppy\" shifter feel and potential drivetrain harmonics.\n\nSpecifically designed for the 1973 and later \"3-bolt\" configuration, this mount serves as a direct replacement for the factory original part number 113-301-265E. Installing a new mount is an economical solution to eliminate \"clutch chatter,\" a common issue in aging Volkswagens during takeoff. By replacing a worn or cracked mount with this robust, bonded rubber-to-steel component, you protect the transmission nose cone from excessive stress and prevent shift linkage binding. This mount provides OEM-plus reliability for restorations or daily drivability improvements.\n\nThe EMPI 113-301-265E front transmission mount is constructed from high-density vulcanized rubber bonded to heavy-duty steel plates, finished with black rubber and a corrosion-resistant coating on metal surfaces. It is designed for the front transmission (nose cone) location and utilizes a 3-bolt (late style) mounting configuration. Standard 3-bolt mounting hardware is required but not included. The mount is compatible with Volkswagen Beetle (Standard) models from 1973-1977, Volkswagen Super Beetle models from 1973-1979, and Volkswagen Karmann Ghia models from 1973-1974. It specifically fits vehicles equipped with the late-style 3-bolt nose cone mounting bracket only.","brand":"EMPI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687945138488,"sku":"113-301-265E","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662658169.webp?v=1784887883","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/front-transmission-mount-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
