Assuming I have all of the hardware from my stock tranny mounts, do I need to buy anything other than the 911 motor mounts to do the swap? Do I need to big 911 cupped washers from the 911 also? Anybody have a good pic of everything installed.

I know this has probably been posted 100 times. I really struggle when searching this site.

Thanks in advance.

I did this last year and don't recall needing anything other then what the mounts came with.
My stock transmission mounts were "smushy", replacing them with the 911 motor mounts did make an incremental improvement in shifting.

I did this a few years back. Great upgrade. I used the 911 washers. They fit the mount much better. I put one on either side of the rubber mount. I used the OEM nut and bolt with the big fat washer under the trans ear ( just like stock)

I seem to recall a recommendation to use the washer because if the rubber part fails, it's possible that the mount could slide off the bolt and basically become completely detached as if the trans just hangs free. The washer could be a "failsafe" to hold the bolt in the trans mount.

I broke a brand new set of 911 mounts just by easing the clutch out... No gas...

It was on my V8 car, but still... Torque is their enemy. I went to solid mounts after that.

911 mounts are great. The spacing for the mounting holes is a little smaller so you often need to oval the holes, but that is no big deal.

The order of things on the mount are, from top to bottom:
1 - Large U channel that bolt goes through with head on top
2 - Mount
3 - Large cupped washer thing with the cup facing down
4 - Transmission mount ear
5 - Large flat washer under the ear
6 - Big nut

Wevo actually has some that are perfect and are made for this application.

New ones by URO are now being made. I think I saw some on Evil Bay for less that $30.
