Review on Powerflex PFF85 420 Bushes by Matthew Nunez

These pads are popular with R32s that are used every day. I installed the kit on my 2003 5 speed Jetta TDi. I was afraid that the extra vibration from my diesel (compared to petrol) would cause noticeable noise and vibration in the cabin, but that wasn't the case. The pads certainly tighten up the transmission, but I didn't notice any extra noise or vibration. I bought a new pawl but replaced the main rubber pads with them before installing. I left the stock front rubber bushing where it attaches to the transmission.
