Replacing motor and transmission mounts in a original 1973 1.7. Any suggestion on the type and where to purchase? Thanks,

The 73 uses solid outboard mounts between the bar and the chassis, and rubber mounts between the bar and the engine. For a street car, I don't think solid replacements for those rubber ones are worth it. Stock works fine.
The 914 transmission mounts are the same as the early 914 front mounts and very similar to many 911 motor mounts. You can use the stock mounts, or go a bit stiffer with the "sport mount" (stiffer 911 Cabriolet motor mounts, I think?) or go with semi-solid Wevo or even full solid. I do not recommend full solid for a street 914. The stiffer ones can help keep the trans from moving around while you accelerate and brake, possibly making for fewer shifting problems. All the usual sources carry them. Pelican, GPR, AA, probably 914rubber, Camp914, 914LTD, and so on. --DD |
