I installed a "Stiffy" Engine Torque Damper... http://www.ingallseng.com

They don't make one for the HHR, So the one I selected, I had to do some modifications to the mounting bracket... I'm enclosing some imagery... (this isn't my vehcile , but images for someone else's install...

 

so that keeps the motor flex down when you hit the gas?

wow $300 bucks is alot..

 

300 ?? I didn't pay that..


I've seen them on e-bay for 69.00 from another vendor/ vehicle usage..


Yes. it helps capture the loss torque when the engine flexs....
Lots of vehicles use them..

 

oh ok thats more like it..They have $340 msrp for a bunch of them on thier site..

 

If you search the internet.. I'm sure you'll fine them for less..

But, You'll need brackets to mount them...

 

Your HHR has a Stiffy. The website is blocked here at work so I'll have to check it out later.

 

Nice find Henry!... I've been looking at the HHR motormounts with the intent of "stiffining" them- but they're not hollowed out like I've seen on other motors. This find is the PERFECT alternative! Curious if you know of anyone that's going to make one specific to the HHR? ... or if we'll have to buy a universal fit model and modify for our application (as you've stated)?

 

 

The truth is out there...

 

Nice mod HV! Nice find, and thanks for sharing!
