Description:

The TSW Damper is one of the best BANG for your buck MODS on the market. Not only does it save wear and tear on motor mounts it lays the power you have to the road like you have never felt in your MINI before. A True Do It Yourself Mod.
The TSW engine damper kit keeps the engine from rocking fore and aft as it applies power to the wheels. This motion stores and releases energy in the drivetrain in the form of uncontrolled pulses, or "whips".
This drivetrain lash causes harshness in the drivetrain, reduces traction, tears up engine mounts and stresses the engine and transaxle. The engine damper restricts the rocking motion of the engine while adding minimal vibration to the car, unlike engine mount inserts or urethane mounts.
MINI fanatics will IMMEDIATELY notice the difference in throttle response and shifting.
Kit includes bombproof brackets - no mounting to wimpy sheet metal here! And, the damper is mounted where it can be easily serviced and away from direct engine heat.
NOTE - Installing an ETD kit may add NVH into your cabin, regardless of what we have done to minimize the effect. If you are sensitive to NVH, you may wish to reconsider installing this or any other ETD solution. AXC Note: with the top mount you can remove the damper at will without removing the brackets allowing you to enjoy it at the AutoX or Track and remove for daily driving. Not sure you will want to after you enjoy the new power you find.

Great product. Minimizes rocking of motor during high rpm acceleration to allow for better shifting. Car feels more solid and no added vibration noticed at idle with new version of the damper.

This is a great product, I use to cringe when i would feel the engine whip during my first to second gear redline shift. With this installed, there is no rocking. The car feels like it is putting more power to the wheels also. I have not felt any increase in NVH either! Highly recommended.
