Britain got us some Wevo trans mounts in hopes of tightening up the shifting a bit.
Having got my weekend yard work (it never ends) done while it was cool, I shifted to car work (that never ends either). The Wevo mounts passed my personal "nice piece" test....unlike some other stuff.

First, a before pic, then a comparo,Wevo to 914/6 trans mounts. Then an installed jobbie....less tightened nuts. These save about 2lbs of weight. Every little bit helps....

Anybody need a pair of nice 914/6 trans mounts ...semi cheep?

Looks good , I thought about those ,just wouldnt look right in my vintage car.

Jp I want those old mounts need em asap. let me know how much.
perfect for my GT, engine going in next week. Jeff

What is semi-cheap?

Do you have to change the engine mounts also?

I keep meaning to buy these but I forget and buy some other part instead

Have to get them next week

Also how do you install these? Do you just undo one at a time and install the new one? Do you have to jack up the tranny?

The mounts are semi-gone

Yeah, you'll need a jack. To get the old ones out, you have to drop the trans 1/2-3/4 inch.....I tried to do it without....no joy. I've been known to make things more difficult
than they need be, tho.

a tranny mount swap takes 10-20 minutes.....

JP - are914/6 mounts different than 4/s?

stock vs stock...

That's why I gave you the pic.....to see if you could tell the difference

This is from the guy that rebuilt his trans in a half hour....the first time

heh. serious! takes no more than 10-20 minutes to swap mounts! LOL

you are gettin old or you are just slow! LOL


nice tranny jab

but who is missing the unobtanium B idler gear huh?

krusty old fart

Theres a diff between a 901 /4 tranny mount and a /6?

The only difference between the 6 tranny and the 4 tranny is the intermediate plate, so I highly doubt there's a difference in the mount.

See what you started JP?

Jeeze....look at the pic.
The 4 pooper mount has holes thru the rubber doughnut.
The sixer is solid rubber.

we need a side by side analysis!

LOL

JP gettin cranky with age?

I don't have any 4 banger mounts around or I'da done that.
Cranky in my old age? .....no, I've always been this way.

I gotta admit that pic is the first time I've seen a 6er mount on the internet......wherefrom (apparently) all knowledge springs.

So, JP, did the Wevo mounts make a noticable difference? Have you driven with them in yet?

I mean they look slick and everything, but do they do anything? Let's have the scoop.

We have an event this coming weekend, we will report out then...

-Britain

Ya mean "look slick" ain't enuff?

Those things look really slick.


I'm gonna one put them on my must-have list.


As far as the -4 & -6 transmounts,

I've held both in my hand at the same time.

The only difference I saw was the part#.

FWIT.

These are nice mounts and do make a difference in shifting. I think they run around $80 each? I put a set on a 914-6 and you could tell the tranny is being held more in place under loads now.

With Wevo mounts, more vibration was noticable when sitting in the staging lanes.
When AXing, it disappears in background racket. Tho I missed 2 shifts, the mounts had nothing to do with that.....I was busy trying to stuff 5 pounds of shit into a 1 pound bag.

Brit got top Porsche time, Gary was a couple tenths back, and I was a couple more tenths back....we had a good battle going in the first run grope.....then Mr Kotzian ran in the 2nd group with his ought6 & kilt us'n.....by a big number

I thought the shifting felt much better, it was definitely more firm. I didn't notice any additional vibration, but JP is always bitchin!

-Britain

The vibration at idle is a weird comment.

They are designed to be semi soft at idle and SOLID when you get on the gas.

B

they must have a brain in those elastomeric pillows

AA - firm believer in weltmeister hockey puck material ones...drove a wevo'd car and it was the same.... maybe a tad bit less vibration at idle... but thats it.

Welt sold plastic bricks that squished with heat..

What do you mean ??

Easy explanation on the WEVO mounts:

They hang in the elastomer at idle. Hit the gas and they compress the elastomer into a solid.


B

was a litte joke... they react to engine load.... i said they must have a brain... nvm...

i reaaaally couldnt tell a difference between the two, anywhere but at idle. That little difference isnt enough to justify the added expense for me....

nice pieces.

Tain't bitchin', just reporting the facts. If I ran it up to 2K or so, the vibration was less.

Thanks JP ,also here is a pic. of my 76 mount ,see hollows.

Hay, if ya flick back & forth from this last pic and this one reel quick, you may see a difference.....like one is melting.
