02J Epytec Rear Gearbox Mount

Hi folks,

Has anyone got photos of an Epytec rear 02J gearbox mount fitted in a Mk1?

Struggling with mine 

I ended up with this and I'm assured it's the correct mount for the 02J…

This is how my side mount bushes are pressed in:

Engine:



Gearbox:

It looks your rear mount is on the wrong side of the diff casing - try swapping it to the other side.

gearbox mount should have an UP arrow on it - you want the sleeved piece on the lower half of the mount - that looks fine.

hope this helps!

To Keep the Engine side mount a little more stable, and when the mount goes the Engine will stay in Position…..

Cut a hunk of rubber out of the old and insert it in the top of the new.



Or you can use a Sacrificial Socket ie: 5mm in it as well.
On large Pot holes the Socket prevents the mount from bottoming out and possibly breaking.
