I originally had new Porsche sport mounts which unfortunately allowed the transmission to move under hard braking and maximum accleration. This caused me to miss shifts and to be unable to feel the shift when it happened. I spoke to Steve Weiner and he got me the WEVO mounts which cured these problems. The WEVO mounts do transmit a great deal of engine noise and vibration so I would not use them on a street car. My SC is a pure track car now.

The gate shift requires the transmission to be dropped and opened.
The WEVO parts are on my 1978 911SC, which has a full cage and completely stripped of any interior sound proofing. I had the cabriolet engine and transmission mounts on the car initially. They worked fine for awhile until I had the engine rebuilt with more hp and really started pushing the car. I then had significant shifting problems that were due to tranmission movement under braking and under full acceleration. These problems went away with the WEVO mounts. As I stated earlier, the WEVO mounts transmit allot a vibration and noise. This is not a problem on a track car, but it will be a problem on a street car.

Did you do the Wevo shift upgrades all at once or piece by piece? I'm curious what kind of difference the gate shift upgrade in particular makes.
Thanks,
