And btw we do have 3 new in stock and yes they are stupid expensive.

 

I will have to re-check. Your idea has got me thinking though.

 

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?

 

[QUOTE=Bertranddaoust;10116698]If the trans does not touch the crossmember, it won't make a difference.

Thanks. good to know.
Not even close to touching the crossmember.
Really just interested for the information and a potential diagnoses tool

 

As Mark said these are very available - Porsche just restocked - put stupid expensive.
Way to go Mark on getting them made elswhere.

 

Not necessarily true, speaking from theory, not experience.

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.

 

I haven't looked at the price in a year or so. What is stupid expensive for them these days?

 

IIRC, it was $75, its now $275/ea retail...or so.

 

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.

 

Would the trans mounts issue have any effect on wheel hop ?

 

Nope. Transmissions doesnt support the suspension.

 

The 928 is more prone to wheel hop due to the weissach axle.....

 

Perhaps looseness lack of dampning at the trans axle.....MIGHT allow a windup unload of torque at the wheel ....just a thought

 

Dean, I sent these pics to your gmail but I thought someone else might want to see them.
928 375 04514 International has them listed as a 79 S .?.?
