Hello All,
I have a 914-6 conversion that I bought from someone. Well, looking at the rear trans mount, it's off the posts. This does not look right. Any ideas of whta is wrong and what I need to do to correct. (this does not look safe.) The engine appears to be mounted in the correct place and everything else looks ok. I am thinking that the rear mount is the wrong one??? Here's a pic. I really hope someone can point me in the right direction. -- brett |

That looks like a home-made front engine mount. I had a similar mount on my car before I switched to a Rich Johnson mount. The Quick-Six mount is of that type, and they do the job, just not as nice as the better mounts that isolate the engine like Porsche did in their mounts.
I'd change out the front mount rather than play with the transmission mount. It's just a symptom of the problem in front. Does the sheetmetal around the engine bay fit correctly? |

I switched to a Rich Johnson mount. I second the Rich Johnson mount! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Do a search here, they have been discussed before ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy |
