This is something unknown to me , although it has been an item used by many to replace the NLA trans mounts. I have looked at numerous pics of the 911 motor mount , Sport ?? and std , can't tell much difference except the price . Could someone here explain to me the pros and cons of each , I really don't want to use the solid mounts I have and I am not at the transmission installing stage yet , just want some experienced information conncerning the 911 motor mounts before getting a set. Thanks for any replies.

IIRC they are the same as the stock mounts, a direct replacement.

the alternative besides the 911 mounts and solid mounts is the WEVO mounts...

stock:



911 sport mounts:



the 911 unit has more of a solid center/design to hold things in place.

Pelican prices are attractive , yeah I've seen the Wevo - looks to be one of the best so;utions I've seen so far , but waaayyy out of my budget for now, the 911 motor mounts look to be the next best thing , I just wanted some idea of the difference between the standard motor mount and the club sport. The price of them doesn't tell me much other than one set costs more than the other one. They appear to be very similar , just don't know if the club sport is any better than the standard mount.

Thanks for the replies.

You want the 911 sport mounts for your transmission mounts. The better choice all around.

Just make sure you're still using the big metal bracket on top.

What happens if you don't?

You've got the weight of the tranny hanging off those two mounts.

I suppose it's possible to pull the bolt through the rubber if you don't use either the stock bracket or some sort of large, thick washer on top.

has anyone tried the superpro mounts from fulcrum?
these are an australian made product and we sell them at the shop i work at in australia. i have a set of front end bushes to try as well as the mounts but i am told you have to cut out the original rubber and use the metal housing with the new bushes in them. i am reluctant to cut the old mounts just now but i am sure they will fit right.
they are in the online catalogue which can be found at http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au/superpro.html the part number you are looking for is SPF1375K but the cat searches based on car as well.
heard good things about the front end bushes after a test by one of the guys in GT Purely Porsche a while back.
cheers

on my 911 sport mounts, it seemed as if the top of mount had a large metal washer built into it; that was larger diameter than the inner part of the concave sleeve that houses the rubber part of the mount. It hasn't fallen out so far... but I think I'll double check really soon just to make sure it isn't some sort of luck keeping it in there. I've got one out in the shop that I can look at and take pics of tomorrow.

first I've heard of an issue with them, I'm using them too... what's the issue?

Posted by: ericread Oct 7 2009, 11:49 AM

The only thing I've heard about the solid mounts is increased vibration and noise...

Thanks Andy , this answers my question about the difference between the two 911 motor mounts ..looks like the way to go $$ wise.
