Transmission mount change

Upon installing the new mounts, I would suggest leaving all the hardware loose until both sides are centered, and remember that you do Not remove (or loose) the center big nut on the mount as the mount itself will be damaged.

PS: If you are interested, I have a set of the Rennline transmission mounts, the ones that have three different density rubber bushings for sale, that I removed from my (987CS)

Gilles,

Thanks for the info man! I wish we had a bit of embedded AI in this forum that tracks predicts the project plans of membership such that parts can change hands.......The Rennlines are exactly what I am putting in. How did you like them? What colour insert shall I go with first? The goal is better shifting. The mounts are original and the front was ripped so they are likely knackered.

Why did you remove yours...too harsh?

Jaykay, I used the softest one, but don't remember the color... the softest inserts were a bit stiffer than the OEM's but not too much.

The reason I remove them is because sadly the car got totaled (t-boned..) and I removed most of the goodies before the insurance took the car away, like the FVD Brombacher Exhaust, KWV3 coilovers, OSGiken LSD, IPD plenum, sport steering wheel,etc., as these didn't fit on the 981 chassis (w/PDK..)
