Now that you point it out I see it, but just paid no attention to the holes in the middle the first look, just the leak arrow.
Were the shocks on the old style MM or the new?

Dave,
In that post I said there were three cavities - actually there are only two - my bad.
The top cavity is open to atmosphere via a hole.
So the larger middle cavity which is divided by the perforated metal membrane is what contains the fluid. The amount of fluid removed from the new mount was not enough to fill the cavity completely.
The fluid moving between the two sides of the cavity through the membrane must have some attenuation properties.
The theory was good - in practice not so good because of the premature failure.
Checked two cars this week and the mounts were toast - an 86.5 with 60k and an 87.

Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

My question on the motor shock is which type of MM, the newer round style, 83+ I think, or the older style were they used with. Hard to believe that Porsche removed without good reason.

Very good thread, some interesting research. Is there any picture of a Porsche MM cut open to compare the inside structure/design to the Ford hydraulic one Roger posted.

The Porsche MM is totally dependant on the small amount of rubber and the water to make it work.
Once the water leaks out the MM is no good at all.
Even the Ford hydraulic would be better than the Porsche one.
I wish I could afford to cut open a new Porsche MM to compare.
