Can someone tell me if the transmission mounts for the 911 are the same used for the 914? My local shop has some 911 in stock but I need them tomorrow.

Yes, the 911 mounts are the same as the transmission mounts on a side shifter 914, and both the transmission and engine mounts on a tail shifter 914.

Actually, there are slight differences (even between 914-4 and 914-6) in the mounts, but they’ll work fine.

I use the 911 sport engine mounts as transmission mounts for my sideshifter and you may have to take a dremel to the mounting holes to make them fit perfectly but other than that they work very well.

installed it on my previous 75 1.8.

This was good and timely info, thanks to all. I had replaced the front mounts in my '73 when I had the engine dropped, but didn't do the rears. Ive felt that the drivetrain still has a fair amount of rock on throttle changes, figured I should do the rear as well.
Years back, shortly after I bought the 911, I put 4 sport mounts in it. I discovered then that the mounts I took out were also sport mounts and were quite fresh. So I have spare 911 sport mounts on the shelf. I think a pair of them will go in the 914 this weekend.

Cool thanks for all the info. See how it works out later today.
