It's time for new rear trans mounts. Looking at PP, they offer two 911 sport mounts, one from Germany and one from Rein Automotive. Both the same price. Is one any better than the other? They also offer a solid mount kit. Does anyone have any pros or cons on these?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I think the solid is for racing only. Solid would be really noisy for street use I would think.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) solid mounts on a street car would be pretty noisy along with adding some harshness to the overall driving experience.

I made soild mounts for my last V8 conversion. The noise increase was not bad but it was a V8. I kept breaking poly 911 mounts just by letting the clutch out at idle. The car I have now uses Renegade mounts. They are mostly soild with a square chunk of very high durometer poly.

Well I'm not looking to create problems from vibration. Are the 911 sport mounts firmer than the originals? A happy medium sounds good.

Thanks again

The 911 mount are an upgrade from the 914. Go for poly!

I have 350+ rear wheel HP with solid mounts on both the engine and transaxle. My car has solid shifting and instant throttle delivery/power to the ground. I don't know what rubber mounts have to do with noise. The rubber mounts are a vibration isolator.

WEVO makes front mounts also ...if you're in the market.

Rick.
Industry came up with the acronym NVH to lump things together. Nuclear subs
believe in it, shouldn't we?

911 Sporto mounts are the best, economical upgrade from the stock units. I always use them and am very happy overall. No complaints (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
