www.greedspeed.com has the cheapest one and it is basically the same thing as all the others that cost 50 bucks

RE: snub mount GOOD
Just curious how much of an effect this has on an auto tranny. Would this stiffen my shifts at all? That's probably the only dissapointment I have with this auto tranny is it's shifts are so soft, I really miss slamming gears in a standard.

Wow...I think I have a much faster install technic for you. See the pictures on page 2 of my site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2040231.
Here is what I did. Raise the front end and put it on two jack stands. Remove the lower engine panel from underneath. Put a hydraulic jack underneath the front of the engine and jack it up until it just raises the engine about 4 or 5 mm. Then you can take the bracket off the engine with three bolts. This way you don't have to remove anything from the front. You also don't have to remove the bracket from the front of the car.
Take the snub off the snub mounting bracket (this will be easy - the stock one is so soft). Make sure you get the new snub to match the way the old one came off (look inside both snubs for lines - match them the same way). It takes a little work to out the new one on as it is MUCH stiffer material - but once you get it started you can get it pretty easy.
Put the snub back into the front bracket, reattach the snub bracket to the engine and tighten the bolts firmly. Lower the engine which is still on the hydraulic jack.
That's it. Easy. And you will have a hard time getting the smile off your face the first time you drive it after the install because the feel is SO different!

EDIT: weak...i just realized this guy has a B6...this won't work for me....looks like it's gotta be done the hard way...
