I ordered a Speedmount from garage9.com a few days ago. I did this after my brother installed one on his 944 N/a-5 speed. No more grumble grumble when drives. Convinced, and persuaded by how easily he says the install was I ordered.
It arrived quickly, and I was not really impressed. Its a slab of silicone/rubber that at first glance seems to be 'something I could have made with a saw in under 5 minutes'. THen I looked more closely at it. It has distinct top and bottom contours, which will be important later. It was pretty hefty, but I still had my doubts.
With a cold water in hand, out I went into the morning stillness to work on Dunkel.
I had the car on jack stands, and with a nice 6x6x2 piece of wood under the oil pan, jacked the motor up about 2 inches. After scooting under I could see why it had the specific contour, which matched the contour between the oil pan and x-Member.
It literally took me longer to jack the car up than it did to slip the Jagermount into place.
Still, other than the 'oil cap' and motor being higher, I really didnt notice too much different. Then I started the car. My Motor moved! I have never seen the motor rock. Test drive is in order (coffee). I get in the car, drop it in gear ....My evil drivetrain clunk was gone. Hmmm.. Im liking this. Driving along I suddenly notice my car is much smoother, and the easy bake oven effect from the center console and footwell is gone. WOW! I had read fixing the Motormounts helped fix the heat problem.
Disclaimer-
This is intended as a temporary fix until the motor mounts are replaced, but If you are living with collapsed mounts, especially if you have a 5 speed car (I have an automatic) you will notice immediate improvements.
YMMV but I give this product a A for effectiveness and ease of installation.
