Pfadt’s uniquely designed C5 Corvette Transmission Brace is sure to hold your Corvette’s powertrain in place. This transmission mount reduces the massive powertrain shake that is common in the C5 Corvette. The brace is an excellent solution for high horsepower or performance driven C5 Corvettes as it bolts to the differential to limit powertrain movement and reduce the load on your half-shafts and other driveline components. Constructed with 6061 T6 aluminum and anodized for durability, Pfadt’s C5 Corvette Transmission Brace, coupled with Pfadt’s C5 Corvette Engine Mounts will result in an unbeatable package.

Pfadt C5 Corvette Transmission Brace

Here is an independent review provided by an industry professional, Hib Halverson on the Pfadt C5 Corvette Transmission Brace.

“Got the Pfadt transmission mount installed and did some testing. Wow! Does that product work great or what? Powertrain “rubberbanding” greatly decreased. Wheel hop virtually eliminated. The downside is a significant increase in noise and vibration between 2200 rpm and 3800 rpm.”

“In a race car, where its use would be allowed by rules, this part is highly advised. In a car that’s drag raced, it’s a virtual requirement. In a track/street car which doesn’t see a lot of street use and no long trips, the same is true because most drivers will take the noise and vibrations in exchange for the better performance… In a street car that is driven on long trips, it’s not advisable because of the big increase in noise and vibration right in the rpm range that the LS1 or LS6 engine will run at on the highway.” Read more about the Pfadt C5 Corvette Transmission Brace here.
