race trans mounts

ManaMan · 04-24-2008, 06:47 PM

I have a '77 930, and have pulled the motor and trans for a new clutch replacement. While, I was in there, I thought I would change out the mounts for something a bit more aggressive to help with shifting. I bought the sport engine mounts, but can't seem to find replacement race rubber for the the trans mounts. I thought I had bought the complete set, but after inspection, it looks like I received four engine mounts.

Is there a replacement mount, without replacing the entire mount crossbar support for the trans.?

I think all of the 4 mounts are the same. I think the 4 mounts you have will work. I think they are interchangeable.

Can someone confirm if I'm correct here?

Thanks,
Bryan

The rubber bushing in the trans mount looks like it's pressed in, there is no metal flange that is bolted to the trans mount to remove the bushing. Is my 930 different than the normal 1977 ?

On later 930s the transmission mount is listed as one piece, meaning you have to change the entire cross beam. There's no sport vs normal. I thought the 76-77 ones were like NA 911 where the mounts can be swapped a.k.a. engine mounts.

Your alternative might be Wevo - I believe they can swap yours out for their semi-rigid ones.

Wevo is going to hook me up with a conversion kit. The '76-'77 930's are solid mounted onto the trans bracket. If you have one of these years, they sell a refab'd trans mount, or you can buy the kit and do it yourself and save approx. $100. You have send in your mount as a core exchange if you go for the pre-made. I'm going to try the kit and save the money for the semi-solid mount.
