Well after this weekends track day my transmission mounts are shot. What are ya'll running and how do you like them? The car is an occasional track day, monthly AXer that will sometimes see street duty too. Has a cammed, carbed 2056. I was looking at the Tarett mounts but they are completely solid. The weltmeister brand looks okay and appears to have a block of poly for maybe some softness. The other option is the Wevo mounts but they are almost double the cost of the Taretts and triple the Weltmeisters. What do you guys think?

Get the 911 sport engine mounts. This will be a great improvement in the handling and gear shifting of the car. I did a total restoration of my car with brand new oem trans mounts/engine mounts. It was as good as a 914 gets, but I had trouble down shifting into gear under extreme braking/ turning. I also had an issue when making a hard turn. The car would turn in then a moment later I'd feel what I thought were the tires "rolling over". After a couple of years of dealing with it like this I was fortunate enough to have a really good driver watching my car as I was on a run. He told me my exhaust was flopping all over the place. I checked it out and it and everthing was tight except the stock mounts are loose enough to permit this unwanted motion. I was able to easily move the engine/trans assembly with my hand. I upgraded to the 911 sport mounts and all that unwanted motion is gone. My cars handling is awsome, very consistant. Shifting while braking/turning is spot on.
