Engine jerking causes?

(1/1)

MKVASMR:
I was wondering if there is a way to reduce the jerkiness of the engine. I feel like there is too much back and forth rocking of the engine. I changed the pendulum mount with a new Lemforder one and I even installed an insert. It’s hard to explain but the car feels heavy and not pleasant to drive. No brakes binding btw.

It’s a manual. And both of the other mounts are new as well.

ZoliWorks:
Is it mapped?

Mine is mapped but has had new engine mounts, new dogbone mount, new complete oem clutch pack fitted early this year and in just under a year got worn out soo bad that when driving in first or 2nd gear, and the clutch bites, it jerks the whole car as if I was running a single mass flywheel with a racing clutch

The map itself is also very aggressive. It cuts fuel as soon as I press the clutch in so when biting, it's very harsh, unless I give it some gas beforehand. The map was made for fast shifting (manual) so the rpm's drop faster this way.

Could be the subframe bolts are bent\loose causing a shift

I had the same issue, I replaced the two upper engine mounts (lemforder) plus the new revised dog bone mount (VW) and powerflex inserts in the top 2 and 034motorsport inserts (upper and lower inserts) in the lower mount.

It made a bit of difference but nothing amazing. I then had fitted the 034motorsport subframe locking kit w/uprated bolts. This made a massive difference and the car doesn’t feel washy/loose at the front and feels taught and planted under acceleration and driving in traffic where it was very noticeable and annoying to say the least
