If you are replacing the tranny mounts ....

OEM Porsche mounts were $324 each, and 4 hours labor charge.
... Don't buy the Boxster mounts.
If you purchase the Boxster mount it comes with the bracket as well with doesn't deteriorate at all.
The trick is o buy the motor mount for the 993. It is the same damper that the Boxster uses, but by itself it costs half as much.
Happy Boxstering,
