If the trans does not touch the crossmember, it won't make a difference.
I would look at the TT bearings and dampener.
And of course change the motor mount if you not already did.
Is the pressure on the flex plate have been checked?

If the mount is completely collapsed so the red and yellow in Deans photo touch, increased vibration transmissions could exist even if the trans does not touch the cross member.
Here is another showing the metal to metal mount surfaces.

Stop panicing. If there is demand, just like all the other aftermarket parts for the 928, then someone will make it. By the look of things, Mark is already working on a possible rebuild and mayne other are too ( lured by the high price of the OE).

Can a 78 mount be modified to fit? Can't tell from the PET picture what the difference is, but they're less than a 100 bucks. Kinda weird.
