What is a TQ damper?
I heard this will help to put my gear smooth and every shifting will be smooth?

nvynuke18

it is a torque damper. it is a solid mount to keep your engine from twisting under heavy acceleration. here is a link:

It will reduce the engine/transmissions tendency of twisting and movement.

Google is your friend my man.

Yes it does help out in the shifting department.....pretty significantly from what I've come to notice.

Like the others of have said, it will reduce the movement made by the motor under load and shifting. IMO it's one of the best modifications for the money depending on what brand you go with. I've seen spoon td's go for close to $300.

The ingalls stiffy, or the power bar is the way to go, I have the Stiffy on my car, and its a night and day differance, it basicly does exactly what solid motor mounts do, but without the violent shaking from the motor...

From looking at your user name I have to ask. Are you sure you're in the right forum?

And there's no need to yell.

Here's a start.

Calm the f**k down and talk to me. Where exactly are you at on it? Are you trying to get the actual damper mounted to the brackets with all the hardware?

What is this "IT" you're referring to?

There's a DIY link in my thread that K5^ just posted above...but be careful because the order of the hardware used to install the damper onto the brackets is incorrect in that DIY.

not sure if you need to create an account here to see this thread, but here is an excilant DIY on how to install the Stiffy, with pics...

THIS IS THE ONE THAT IM TALKING ABOUT "IT" LOL....DOES IT HOLD ANYTHING? OR CAN I JUST UNSCREW IT? THANKS FOR HELPING...

MastaSSIII

DISABLE CAP'S LOCKS..lol....It looks like you already have solid motor mounts, why use the stiffy....Im still really not getting what your asking, that bolt looks like its already screwed into somthing....it looks correct from the picture.

What kind of Honda has that much room in the engine bay?

RICO_

NO! Leave that bolt alone. It secures the bracket and holds it in place. Taking it out will probably result in more play from the bracket causing more rattling from the engine bay as it rattles against the frame of the vehicle.

RICO_

The kind of Hondas they don't make anymore.

EM1SELDM

sorry for the cap's lock!..lol.... no no no noooo thats not my ENGINE...and thats a EM1(00civic) by the way...im using this picture to give an example of what im talking about, i want to put the TQ DAMPER on my car same as shown above but i want to know what that one bolt holds, do you guys get me?

Jonknee

dont buy ebay ones. I had one and the bracket bent

MastaSSIII

LIke the other post says, that bolt goes into the frame/body, it has to be there, it just bolts the bracket in the engine compartment...

MastaSSIII

why would you buy any car part from ebay...?

TQ Dampener reduces engine movement helping more usable power transfer through the engine and actually get to the wheels.

I saw someone said that the TD and PowerStick are the way to go but now there are Motor Mounts out for our cars. Innovative and Boomba both make quality Motor Mounts which provide far greater stability than the TD and PS.


I have the Boomba Mounts btw.
