Default Competition Motor/Tranny Mounts

Has anyone installed the Competition Motor/Tranny Mounts from Pelican?
I have included a link to the set I am referencing.
Just curious if anyone had problems, how they felt, if they are much better over the sport mounts, and how harsh the ride will be afterwords. Obviously the harsh factor will vary depending on the current suspension setup, and I am prepared to get alot of vibration from the drive train. Just curious.



Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I've switched between solid and clubsport mounts, and the difference was really not all that noticeable, to me. You get more drivetrain noise with the solids, but it's not like you're suddenly in a different car.

Shifting precision seemed similar, even in track use.

Jack, do you have the CS mounts all around or are only using 2 of them?

I'm currently using cs all around. I had solids in the back, but switched to cs to make long drives quieter.

Jack,
You aren't interested in selling your solids are you?

Is it wise to mix match? I know on conventional front engine rear drive cars, many have broke a tranny by running mix matched. They initially think it might be softer, but when you lock one end and not the other you get strange forces. I'm no engineer nor Porsche expert so this might be mute in this application....just thought I would pose the question.

Sorry. Didn't see the response until now. Sure, I'll sell them. Shoot me an email, and I can give you more details about them.

It's done all the time with 911's. The front (tranny) mounts and the rear engine ones have different functions. It's not like four legs of a table.
