How to: GR Corolla Upgraded Pitch Stop Mount Install. The cure for difficult shifting!

- We show you in detail how to install a Delta X Motorsports "Pitch stop mount" on Josh's 2023 Toyota GR Corolla. This repairs the common failure of the OEM mount and provides more solid mounting of the engine especially under load.
While this does result in slightly more vibration in the car, the improved shifting is well worth it! No more jerky and difficult shifting. Especially between gears 1-2 as is common with these cars.
Enjoy the watch, and hopefully you find this video helpful!
Appreciate yall providing the torque numbers!
Glad to help!
So THAT'S what I was feeling on the shifts!!
4:40 apparently according to some technicians the little "rip" is intentional, the pitch stop is supposed to flex a little bit with rubber. Most people have been reporting it as a "ripped" mount when it's actually intended design. And by rip I don't mean like through the middle of the rubber or anything, I mean where the rubber touches the metal.
It may be intentional, but that mount is WAY too soft and lets the engine move around enough to cause shifting problems. Hopefully Toyota improves it on upcoming models
@@teamturner4300 very true, it's especially noticeable on high gear going up hill sometimes. For me it hasn't straight up caused shifting issues yet, but I think I'd rather have my rubber wear out faster than accidentally one day breaking my thin firewall because of a stiff pitch mount.
@@Electronica27 this mount attaches to the subframe, not the firewall
@@teamturner4300 Fair, but still would rather not get any points ruined from hard acceleration.
But it fixes shift “slop”. So you’re also reducing the risk of money shifting under load
Welp looks like I need this
It's night and day!
Good job on the video man, music is far too loud though.
Can u share what exhaust system u have on this gr?
@@quanthai1845 it's the Magnaflow cat back
is the 60 closer to how the factory bushing feels?
It is still harder than the factory bushing, but not as hard as the 80 we used.
Those oem motor mounts are 100% fine! They’re suppose to be like that to prevent noise and vibrations! All you did was install a solid bushing, not replace a faulty or defective oem Toyota bushing. I’ve had my gr corolla for over a year now and have zero need for upgrading any suspension bushings. The car is stiff asf from factory with no body roll. Feels like a go cart out of the box
Except not really. Toyota botched the duro on the stock mount (too soft, just like the clutch lol); it’s been well known amongst owners for a minute. Personally ran into weird shifting issues out at track days last year, and w/ high-rpm shifting. Caved in and replaced it - zero problems now. Not exactly a ‘must’, but it objectively improves one of the GRC’s design flaws. A rear motor mount also has nothing to do w/ suspension bushings (completely different) or the amount of body roll this car has from stock - which is substantial btw. It’s a hot hatch.
@@ryanw3907the engine mounts need to be very soft it should have been a fluid filled hydrolic engine mount less movement and more vibration suppression, the 3 cylinder engines vibrate alot even with a heavy rotating balance shaft and timing assembly to mitigate some of it
Where did your Hi-Chews go?
Is this a better part than the CUSCO PITCH STOP MOUNT.
I don't have any experience with the Cusco.
What is the website link or physical address to order the Delta X pitch mount?
The person I bought it from doesn't have a website. It's from Jeff Pavletic ii on Facebook. That's the only way to get one that I am aware of at this time.
Got the grocery getter performance one. Absolutely solid.
@@Faithfps There are several options out there that all seem to be similar. The one I used in the video is nice, but any of them are going to be better than the stock one.
At eng start up the whole car shakes for me… will this part fix it?
There will be a bit more vibration overall. Both at startup and driving. The harder bushings will transmit more of the engine vibration.
@@teamturner4300 I’m talking about I’m seen the issue stock… I’m at 3.7k miles. The whole car shakes more than I’m thinking it should and my 1-2 shifts are jerky more than expected.
@@Arsing116 this completely cured the 1-2 shift issue.
How to order one of these?

This specific one won't be available until first week of April as the guy that makes them is currently on deployment but there are other companies that make them
@@teamturner4300 I am on the waiting list for the next batch. From what i understand, the wait will be worth it. Appreciate it!
Thats a wide gear ratio, not very fun
So just wondering since i have seen a few of these. I just got mine, is this a needed mod? Or os this more from say spirited shifting. I dont plan on hard shifting. This is my only car so i plan on having a while. Obviously i will have fun with it too.
The original mount fails extremely quickly. Usually less than 5k mi even if you're not driving hard. That results in a weird 1-2 shift feel. Like it won't engage second gear smoothly at all. The engine ends up moving around more than it should due to the failed amount and it actually makes you question whether or not you actually know how to drive a manual. 😂 I would say this is definitely a necessary mod, although the less spirited driver should probably choose a softer bushing. The 80a one that we used does transfer a bit of vibration into the car.
@teamturner4300 Thanks do you know if this was addressed in the 2024 model at all? Most of what I have seen is for 2023. I will look up as well. Thanks again
@@Wreckt311 sorry, I don't know if it's been changed for 2024 or not.
You do not need to do this immediately. The oem bushing is not faulty like everyone is saying, it’s designed like that to absorb sound and vibrations, unlike the solid bushing he installed. I’ve had my gr corolla for a year now no problems. First thing you should do is mud flaps
@christopherbassit2757 Thank you. If I end up needing to do it I will. Thanks for the input. I would rather not modify the car if possible. Cosmetic stuff I don't mind doing, but want to keep car mostly stock for a while
