That orange insert also looks used/well worn (probably much softer than when new)...

I used a rubber dead blow hammer to install one before and it was still very tight.

Fyi, the first set they sent me were not for my car and I had to send them back for different ones.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As the title says, I can�t get the trans bushing support pressed in. I�m using the orange one. I greased with silicone lube. The bottom tabs fit fine but the top one that looks like an I-beam won�t go. I�ve tried a rubber mallet and quick clamps. C-clamps won�t work as there�s plumbing in the way. It�s stuck at about 2/3 the way in. Any suggestions?
Looking at this one, it appears that its supposed to fit inside the original bushing. Only thing I can think of is there is rubber in the gap where the lower pieces are designed to fit in.
I thought the title was clear but I�m installing the function first insert, not replacing the OEM bushing. Here�s the problem� I even created my own makeshift press using wood blocks and the cross bolts. The top of the insert just won�t fit. Pretty pissed. Seems like it may be oversized.
It�s a 6 speed. I just pulled it back out and sliced off some of the excess material. It�s almost all the way in so I�m going to try and fit the bracket back on and see if it works. Shaving down the other side now. This should be completely unnecessary.
I was thinking the same thing. You�d figure FF would either account for that or add a note in the instructions to that effect. I got the other side in. The best option was to use a pistol style quick clamp after shaving it down. The base flashing was causing me the most trouble.
Here�s a pic of the excess material at the base before I cut it away. I think the orange ones are probably more difficult to press in as they are a bit flaccid.
The inserts are designed to be used with a new/properly functioning (ie; not collapsed) bushing/mount. That orange insert also looks used/well worn (probably much softer than when new)... Don�t be surprised if the performance is less than stellar...
Mine just pushed in with my thumbs. Fyi, the first set they sent me were not for my car and I had to send them back for different ones. The website had them labeled wrongly, hope they fixed that.
It was brand new. It just looked like in the photos crap from picking up grime after beating on it. My mount wasn�t torn so it should have fit better.
Hope it was worth it. We�ll see in the spring.
That could have been my problem. The basic design was correct. Just the top tab was oversized for the job. It�s in there snug now so hope it does it�s job.
