You talking about 986 or 987????

The best way would be to use a cayman S engine cover, which will give you more clearance.

Lowering the engine 1.5" is a poor solution

He's referring to the cover that you must remove (after putting the top in the service position and removing the carpeted cover) to gain access to the top of the engine.

Apparently, that allows for the extra space that is needed above the engine to allow you to use the stock transmission mounts. It also means that the engine will not hang down below lower than "normal".

Just an update on this topic........ I just put my new 987 mount in, raised my motor to stock height to see if I can make it all work like everyone says. First the intake manifolds hit the body. No biggie it can be adjusted as needed. Second, the shifter cables get pulled so tight that there is no way I would drive like that. Third, it's worked fine lowered for the past 3 years so......... As for worrying about the motor being low, ask schoir, my car is on coilovers and is low. No issues with clearance. The motor sits low so just watch out for crap on the road.

I just messaged another member, hopefully he has the solution as to why I can't make this all work in harmony.
