Transmission Mounts

I'm in the process of ordering the Wevo rear engine mounts (the semi-solid jobs) from Pelican. At the same time, I'd like to do the transmission mounts. However on Pelican they claim that the individual transmisson mounts CAN'T be replaced without replacing the entire cross-member!!! To the tune of $554.80! I copied this from their parts catalog: Note: It is not possible to replace the mounts on the 1976-89 911 Turbo and the 1987-89 911 Carrera without replacing the entire motor mount crossbar support. That seems strange to me! Is this true? is there an alternative? I just find it hard to believe that Porsche would design this so that the entire cross-member needs to be replaced and not the individual mounts! Please advise as I'd like to place my order today.
Many Thanks,
Jeff

Sammy...I did a little research on Pelican, and I think these will be a good compromise between full blown racing inspired solid type mounts and the softer OEM ones. Being that I have stock ones now, I'll probably notice a small increase in vibration, but I don't think it will be bothersome

I have'm on my car and have no issues. ...just remember to save two of those big washers from the stock mounts.

If you are using the car as a street car, I'd research a bit more about solid mounts before getting them.
I would think about ride quality and impact on chassis before the installation.

....I don't recall much more engine noise with solid mounts (trans/engine) but you can really hear trans much more. gears really whine down long straights, pretty cool. remember this is full race car though with no windows, interior, etc.

I've bought WEVO's for the engine mounts on my current project but I'm planning to use the stock mount for the tranny. Anyone have another solution for less rigid tranny mounts? Maybe it's time for one of the small aftermarket guys to make some. I need them so I'll design them if someone will give me the prototypes for free.

Just wanted to add this link from Pelican. I think Wevo can exchange the tranny crossmember for you (you send them yours and they send you theirs with new Wevo semi-solid mounts installed). Or they can send you instructions for how to modify your own beam. Just FYI for those who might be interested:

I checked the Wevo websight and can't find any mention of this service though???

And the plot thickens. For the transmission mounts, if you need an immediate fix and don't want to deal with sending your cross-beam off to Wevo, you can press/pry off the rubber mounts from the beam and replace with Pelican's "Polygraphite" mounts. I think that's the route I'm taking. My Wevo semi-solids just arrived today, so I'll run those on the engine and the polygraphite on the tranny.

By the way, my company's mail-room clerk just handed me the Wevo package and these semi-sold mounts are works of art! Almost too nice use...ALMOST that is! HA!
