WTB Transmission mounts
 

A pair. For a 98 Tiptronic. With the bracket(s) attached. Lower mileage preferable. Your price for a pair Including shipping to 92284, regular USPS.

I just want to unbolt the old, and plug in the replacements. I'm not interested in buying just the mount and installing it to my existing bracket(s). For now. ;)

Who has a pair? Post your price, or PM me. Worst case scenario... you have the driver's side.

Thank you. :cheers:

I'm still looking for theTiptronic transmission mounts for the 98... preferably with the bracket installed.

I saw this part, absent the bracket, on Pelican:

Looks like a deal for the "pair" (I've contacted Pelican/chat for conformation.

I'm finding the parts numbers confusing as well... as I've looked on eBay... but confused.

Exactly which parts do I need? I'm sorry... I just find it confusing.

Will these mounts work on the Tiptronic? The price is right... but r o c k a u t o doesn't show a listing for the automatic. Are the parts interchangeable?

The X's should read r o c k a u t o, no spaces.

Thanks fellas. I appreciate any input. :cheers:

OK. Nothing. It's not a hugely popular part. So what I now request is opinion and, more specifically, a recommendation between my two choices.

Polluted I have become by the plethora of information and opinions gleaned from reviewing products and opinions from upon this and other forums.

I'm looking at two products. The reason I have selected these parts is because I don't want to go the Porsche part route... nor Rein.

The two parts are the WEVO SS mount for the 98 Tiptronic and the Function First transmission mount upgrade. From $310 to $325 for the pairs.

I've read about the vibration and harshness. I can handle a little vibration, as I am the primary driver.

I'd like to move quickly on this repair, for I don't want to suffer the con$equences associated with the failed mount.

Opinions and thoughts welcomed. Thank you. :cheers:

OK. One more question and then I'm going to abandon this mother****************er.

The Rein transmission mount... part # 993.375.049.09. Will that work for the Tiptronic transmision on my 98? I don't want to go the spendy route and, upon the Pelican site for repairs... they suggest that part number but, unless I'm ****************ing blind (I am) I se nothing about it working for the Tiptronic.

Could someone help a brutha out? ****************. :cheers:

Jim, No.

But if I had one in the garage, I'm sure I could make it fit.
Tip vs manual is not an issue. Only the brackets are different.

...and later when I was looking for something else I found this:

You have wrenches? I'd have to charge you $180/hr labor to put the mount on the bracket for the Tip'.

Seriously, I think you're better buying a new pair of ~$150 ones or shopping around for some under $100 ea instead of buying a 20 year old one.

Thank you, 78.

New it shall be. So...

Hamberg Technic... or the Rein? There's a difference of about ~$75 for the pair with which I'm OK.

I'll wait on your recommendation then ordering the pair you choose. Hamberg or Rein? Thank you.

Also... I know that removing my existing mounts from the brackets is going to be a pain... and am considering having a shop remove the old ones (unless you have a removal recommendation?). Do you think I should source a pair of brackets? I then would remove from the car the existing brackets and mounts... install the new mounts to the sourced brackets... plug them in... and toss the old?

I appreciate your input. Thank you. :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Are you familiar with 'The Office'?

I don't expect there's enough difference between the two to make the more expensive one worth the cost. AOS, Coolant Tank, Water Pump - I go with Original. This I'm not so worried.

I'll post some info about doing the replacement later. I have an '01 Tiptronic in the garage right now and will get a look at it, but if I remember correctly, taking the bracket off with the mount is the way.

You've already read the PelicanParts Tech article? Here's all I have to add:

Torques can be found here along with some other misc info: http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/63154-replacing-rear-suspension-bracket.html

I enjoy hanging out in the garage and listening to audio books and music. If you dread time in the garage, pay someone to do it. :cheers:

Thank you 78. I'll go with the Hamburg, and I'll be wrenching them off/on/in... pay myself $140 an hour. ;)

Thank you for the information and direction. I just wanted to be confident in the purchase.

The Office. That's rich. lol
