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. |

My 9lebbin tranny was mounted incorrectly and it was N-O-I-S-E-Y. With a solid mout a "tremendous" amount of gear noise was transmitted through the body into the cabin. So much so, I thought I had a bad throwout bearing or a bad clutch.
Rick, a V8 6" from your noodle may have something to do with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That and the tranny being in the rear. I've vote stock (if you can find some in decent shape) or sport mounts. for a street driven car. I see the load on the 911 mounts the same as it would be if they had an engine hanging off them in a 911... I haven't dug in that deep though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
