I bought these and it reduces the Transmission Noise when accelerating. I can no longer hear the noise it worked.

Crazy the dealership did not have an answer or new about these parts already made by VW. Need to remove the botton cover to access the torque converter housing then push these in. T25 and T45 bits to remove plastic bottom engine cover

Does it make it more quiet? Yes

How to reduce the VW atlas torque converter transmission noise when accelerating

If you own a 2018 - 2020 Volkswagen Atlas with the VR6 (V6 3.2L) engine you have probably heard the racket that the car makes when driving at low speeds. This noise is often described as a rattling, metallic noise, rusty bolt in a tin can, grinding.. you get the idea. 09P301160 09P301160A 09P301160B

thanks for this. Ill order them and toss them in, so annoying to be so loud and have people look at your vehicle likes its a broken pos.

I was JUST in the dealer and I brought it up again , we both knew what it was, he said they made plugs for it now and I even saw it when i did my own oil, i was like hmmm why is this even open like this...so water, dust, or heat can escape is my guess...shrug. hopefully doesnt cause issues.

I was trying to get him to do it since ive been complaining about it for years on and off, each time i send it in for something lol. They should pay under warranty since its a nuisance

Why are there 3 parts though, all different sizes or ill see once there which one goes where since molded to each hole based off of the corners

EDIT: OR its open to be able to access the bolts lol

I purchased part numbers 09P301160A, 09P301160b, 09P301160 From ESC. Items fit perfectly. Took me 10 minutes to install. You will need two Torqs/Star point bits, I think they were T25 and T45, to remove the under covering or splash guard. 3 T45 bolts and 8 T25 screws. Panel then slides backward and off. In my case they didn't seem to reduce the sound. They just masked the lower tones and left the higher pitch. 2019 Atlas

I've done it and I'll say it really doesnt' change the noise enough to spend the money.
