This is something unknown to me , although it has been an item used by many to replace the NLA trans mounts. I have looked at numerous pics of the 911 motor mount , Sport ?? and std , can't tell much difference except the price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . Could someone here explain to me the pros and cons of each , I really don't want to use the solid mounts I have and I am not at the transmission installing stage yet , just want some experienced information conncerning the 911 motor mounts before getting a set. Thanks for any replies.

IIRC they are the same as the stock mounts, a direct replacement.

the alternative besides the 911 mounts and solid mounts is the WEVO mounts...

Pelican prices are attractive , yeah I've seen the Wevo - looks to be one of the best so;utions I've seen so far , but waaayyy out of my budget for now, the 911 motor mounts look to be the next best thing , I just wanted some idea of the difference between the standard motor mount and the club sport. The price of them doesn't tell me much other than one set costs more than the other one. They appear to be very similar , just don't know if the club sport is any better than the standard mount.

Thanks for the replies.

You want the 911 sport mounts for your transmission mounts. The better choice all around.

Just make sure you're still using the big metal bracket on top.

You've got the weight of the tranny hanging off those two mounts.

I suppose it's possible to pull the bolt through the rubber if you don't use either the stock bracket or some sort of large, thick washer on top.

on my 911 sport mounts, it seemed as if the top of mount had a large metal washer built into it; that was larger diameter than the inner part of the concave sleeve that houses the rubber part of the mount. It hasn't fallen out so far... but I think I'll double check really soon just to make sure it isn't some sort of luck keeping it in there. I've got one out in the shop that I can look at and take pics of tomorrow.
