3.0L Stratus/Eclipse Delrin Front Motor Mount
This is a solid Delrin (Acetal) front motor mount for SOHC (24-valve) 3.0L V6 equipped Mitsubishi / Mopar vehicles.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Once on the car, it looks stock, unless one knows what to look for. Installation is the same as replacing a stock mount.
The stock mounts are a very weak piece. As shown below, the rubber insert is only held on by two small strips of rubber, allowing a lot of engine movement. With an engine of this much torque, the mounts take a massive amount of abuse, and will not last long. Many of these stock mounts have been completely torn in half, resulting in severe wheelhop, damage to CV joints, and thumping sounds from under the hood.
In comparison, the Cheetah mount is a solid piece, that will probably outlast your vehicle. Launches, especially with the 5-speed have proven to be much quicker and more reliable with solid mounts on these vehicles, as they have a good amount of low end torque; which on FWD vehicles can make for interesting launches.
Delrin Front Motor Mount for Mopar 3.0L
This is a solid Delrin (Acetal) front motor mount for SOHC (12-valve) 3.0L V6 (6G72) equipped Chrysler vehicles. This mount is the same for all three transmissions available with the V6, and in all the available models the engine was used.
Personally, I had destroyed (3) stock front motor mounts in my car. As shown below, the stock mount is hollow and not very strong. I have been using the Delrin mount since late 2000, and am very pleased with it. The motor sounds smoother and shifts are much crisper. There is not any noticeable added vibration on a car with any suspension modifications, actually the opposite seems true. Mashing the gas pedal, the car is much more responsive, as the motor does not lose as much torque into the mounts. On a car with a stock setup, there is some added vibration though; although not much.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Once on the car, it looks stock, unless one knows what to look for. Installation takes about 45 minutes, with floor jacks, socket set, and a hammer to knock the old mount out and fit the new mount in. The mount does not include the mounting bracket, as the bracket does not need to be removed from the vehicle.
Delrin Transmission Mount for Mopar 3.0L
This is a solid Delrin (Acetal) transmission motor mount for SOHC (12-valve) 3.0L V6 (6G72) equipped Chrysler vehicles. This mount is the same for all three transmissions available with the V6 (each transmission has a different shaped metal bracket, but the rubber mount is the same), and in all the available models the engine was used. The mount bracket must be the updated (per a TSB) bracket for this mount to fit. Most vehicles should already have this updated bracket. This updated bracket is shown to the left.
The mount is made of one solid piece and uses the stock diamond-shaped bushing. As shown, the stock mount is hollow and not very strong.
With the stock mount, the movement is much more pronounced with the 5-speed, but is still quite apparent with the automatic transmissions also.

Garolite Intake Spacer for Mopar SOHC 12v 3.0L
This 1 inch thick intake spacer kit works with the vehicles that have the 12 valve 6G72 Mitsubishi V6 found in Mopar vehicles from the 80's and 90's.
These spacers will also add volume to your plenum, which will help increase torque throughout the powerband. Also the longer runners will help high-end power by straightening the airflow towards the cylinder at a farther distance from the valve, allowing it to gain momentum.
Insulating spacers have been around for a long time, and are a proven performance item.
This spacer is 1 inch thick to provide as much insulation as possible, while still having hood clearance. It is shipped with longer mounting bolts (5/16-24 X 3") because the spacer is much thicker than the stock gasket. Installation of this spacer is very straightforward, and is the same process as changing the stock gasket.
I recommend buying an extra stock gasket from your local parts store, and sandwiching the spacer between two stock gaskets. RTV or equivalent sealant can also be used.
Garolite Throttle Body Spacer for Mopar SOHC 12v 3.0L
This 1 inch thick intake spacer kit works with the vehicles listed below. The spacer is installed between the intake manifold and the throttle body, where the throttle body gasket is located.
Since this spacer can fit on hundreds of combinations (vehicles, makes, and engines), please verify that there will not be any clearance problems arising from moving the throttle body out one inch.
The cooler throttle body will also help keep the power level stay more consistent. Most cars feel slightly sluggish on very hot days, or after a lot of stop-and-go driving. Part of this is because of the intake air becoming warmer. These spacers will help stop this power loss. This works even better in combination with blocking of the throttle body coolant line (if applicable).

Mitsubishi / Mopar 2.5L Front and Rear Delrin Motor Mount
This solid Delrin (Acetal) motor mount fits both the front and rear mount brackets for the Chrysler / Dodge / Mitsubishi 2.5L V6 equipped vehicles.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Once on the car, it looks stock, unless one knows what to look for. Installation is the same as replacing a stock mount.
The front and rear mounts are identical and interchangeable, if needing both the front and the rear mounts, just add (2) mounts to the shopping cart.

Mitsubishi 2.5L / 3.0L V6 Garolite Intake Spacer
This 1/4 inch thick intake spacer works with the above vehicles. The spacer is installed between the lower and upper intake manifold, where the intake gasket is located.
This spacer is 1/4 inch thick to provide as much insulation as possible, while still retaining stock intake supports and bolts. Installation of this spacer is the same process as changing the spark plugs. A good write-up of a spark plug installation can be seen here.
I recommend buying an extra stock gasket from your local dealer, and sandwiching the spacer between two stock gaskets. The Chrysler p/n for the 2.5L and the SOHC 3.0L is MD199282, for around $8. The Chrysler p/n for the DOHC Non-Turbo 3.0L is MD143791, and around $10. Although these use different part number gaskets, the newer MD199282 can be used in place of the MD143791. The MD199282 just has two extra holes. That is why this spacer is made to the MD199282, so that one spacer will work for all three engines. These gaskets can also be picked up at any Mitsubishi dealer. I would not recommend RTV or equivalent sealants since the walls around the openings are so small.
Mopar Delrin Shifter Cable Bushings
These Delrin bushings are for manual transmissions only.
Please check your vehicles stock rubber bushings to insure these will work. There are two slightly different versions of the stock bushings. Most new Mopar vehicles have all (4) bushings the same size. Some older vehicles use (3) small and (1) large bushing. The large bushing will be on the firewall side of the transmission, and are prone to deteriorating and causing shifting problems.
All (4) stock rubber bushings from Mopar are very soft, and after time, the under hood conditions will rip them apart, making it impossible to shift. The photo to the left shows the vast difference between the stock and Delrin bushings.
These bushings are made of Delrin (Acetal). The best way to describe Delrin is that it is a plastic that has the strength of metal. It is commonly used in place of metal in applications where metal can not be used (magnetic, corrosion, or conducting / insulating reasons). It is machined exactly like metal, and on the same equipment. This is much stiffer than Urethane bushings, and it will not give or wear out. With this mount, it should never need to be replaced, unlike the stock unit. Yet, it absorbs vibration better than metal.
These bushings give the vehicle more precision and "less sloppy" shifting. This set consists of four (4) bushings, along with e-clips to fit in the retaining ring, to prevent the bushings from sliding out. The four (4) bushings allow for replacing of not only the under hood bushings, but also the bushings on the shifter itself.
As shown on the left, the Mopar option of (1) larger bushing is very evident when one looks under the hood. The large bushing has a much larger outer diameter, even though it fits on the same size rod on the transmission.
If purchasing, state in the notes area whether the large bushing is needed instead of a fourth small mount.
