The VW factory transmission mount was designed as a soft flexible mount, to provide a very comfortable drive. It's drawback was the large amount of engine movement allowed under torque load and on hard acceleration. This engine "slop" greatly decreases stability and smoothness under high performance driving conditions and rapid gear selection. The VW factory mount is hydraulic and constructed from rubber vulcanized onto a steel plate. The rubber cavity contains a viscous oil which dampens shock and vibration loaded onto the mount via the transmission. Typically over a period of time failure occurs when the rubber cracks leaking out the oil. VF-Engineers chose to redesign this mount by eliminating the oil and designing the mount using a single piece of polyurethane instead of rubber. The new design is setup for longevity and stability. VF-Engineering designed tooled up and manufactured a complete new replacement containing a molded, high durometer polyurethane insert. The mount is constructed from billet aluminum and supplied with the highest tensile hardware available. Fitting should take no more than 30 minutes. This Mount Fits: 8P Audi A3 MK V Volkswagen GTI  MK V Volkswagen Jetta

You definitely want to listen to the instructions and re-check the torque specifications on the bolts after driving about 300 miles. I had 5 bolts that needed some slight tightening again.
