The bushings in the stock lower torque (transmission) mount is very soft and compliant rubber. The lower torque mount is subjected to tremendous radial (push/pull) forces every time the transmission shifts gears. The bushings deteriorate and eventually tear due to this stress and exposure to engine heat and road chemicals. The damage gets progressively worse, allowing unwanted engine and transmission movement that translates to poor shifting performance (especially on manual cars), odd clunks and accelerated wear on other mounts.

If your car has more than 50k miles or is more than 5 years old, you should consider replacing the stock mount. Even if your car is not modified, the mount will wear - especially on turbo models and modified vehicles which put additional stress on the mount.

The QBM Performance Lower Torque (Transmission) Mount starts as a brand new complete mount, then we stregthen it in-house by reinforcing it with 97 Shore A Durometer polyurethane. The completed performance mount will outlast and outperform the stock mount because of its polyurethane-reinforced design, and is a must on turbo models, modified vehicles, and manual transmission conversions.

The QBM Performance Lower Torque (Transmission) Mount is easy to install using basic hand tools, and installation takes about 20 minutes.

Detailed installation instructions are included.

Fits all of the following models (AT or MT): 93-97 850, 98-04 C70, 98-00 S70**, 98-00 V70**, 01+ S60/R, 01-07 V70/R/XC, 99-06 S80 6-cyl
** Not available for 98-00 S70 R/AWD and 98-00 V70 R/AWD

Update: For owners of P2 vehicles including the 01+ S60, 01-07 V70, and 99-06 S80; upgrading this mount is crucial. We discovered that this mount wears up to 5xs faster thanks to the Neutral Shift feature that is standard on ALL automatic equipped vehicles! The Neutral Shift feature shifts the car from D to Neutral and back to D again every time the vehicle comes to a stop regardless of what gear is selected with the shifter! This feature has proved so unpopular that Volvo is removing the feature as part of a ECM/TCM software update. We've seen cars just one year old with a completely torn lower torque mount! If your P2 car is suffering from jerky shifting, poor idle, clunks or other noises it is very likely this mount is the culprit.
