BASTARD!!!!!!!!! I have not seen a GLHS for a LOOOOOOOONG time. One of the most unappreciated cars of all time. Personally I'd give it to the GLHS over the Vette- and it is probably more reliable.
My brother had a CSX that was gnarly. I LOOOOOVE the 2.2l turbo 2. Right up there with the Slant 6 in all time most reliable motors.

I upgraded to the mopar performance mount, which has a harder durometer rubber, but I didn't think it was hard enough. It makes hella difference in shifting, and if your stick moves at all when you hit the gas that will go away too. The setup in my GLHT was really similar to what I have found to be stock in most A2s I have seen... that is, it has shift linkage instead of cables. It may even help if you have a wheel hop problem. If you can find a performance mount I would start there, and if need be fill it. When you fill it with RTV, make sure that you do it little by little, and leave time for it to dry in between. Do layers and let it dry for a day or so. Otherwise the RTV will still be wet in the middle when you are done and it will not dry. I never looked at the mount in my jetta (didn't have a chance to yet) but I am assuming it is very similar to the mopar 2.2 turbo mount. I put some pics up of my old used and abused mount I took out and put them up at: <http://pages.zdnet.com/peopleunderthe/peopleunderthe/> (click motor mount) Another mod that you A2 guys might be interested in (if you don't know about it yet) is to heim joint your linkage if you are still using linkage instead of cables. There is a great webpage that explains this at <http://www.shelbydodge.org/menu/new_idea.php3?url=http://www.shelbydodge.or g/html/heim_joint.html> Save your money-- dont buy that short shift kit, and do it this way... it works. Hope this helps somebody... Will Keegan, Harrison Twp.
