Hi Guys, any of you running solid motor mounts?

Did you "uprate" the transmission mount, too?

If so, is the vibration unbearable, or not really much different? I don't want to make my car undriveable for long distances, even short ones when I'm not racing...

Any input is appreciated!

Nope. RS motor mounts and I think transmission mount is stock (don't remember).

I have had solids for almost two years and forgot what it was like before, so I can't help too much. I think I like them!

There was no change in the tranny mount.

FWIW, I have the RS mounts. Don't forget to reinforce the engine carrier with either RS or solid mounts.

Garret,

I installed RS mounts when the hydraulic ones failed in my C4, the only real difference I noticed was a little more rocking at idle and the sound of the AC compressor was more noticeable other than that they were like standard.

I'm happy with my RS-mounts. The tranny is still stock. I can't see any downsides and the drivetrain doesen't flex as much as before. The gear shifting on track is better. And they are lighter!

You may want to contact Windrush, see http://www.wevo.com/porscheproducts.htm

They have made semi solidmounts for the 964 as well as the ones they make for the 911. I am considering installing these on my '90 964.

That's funny you say that - I have two of them on order!!!

I have the solid Carrera Cup motor mounts (not RS) and the car is still nice to drive. Don't replace the transmission mount with a solid one if you are going to drive your car on the street. The gearbox raddle noise will drive you nuts, especially if you have a lightweight flywheel installed. At idle it sounds like something is going to fall appart and at high rpm is sounds like you have an F1 gearbox :-) Rather replace the transmission mount with a stronger rubber mount.

Bill Gregory

You can still buy the 964 Carrera Cup transmission mount, which has harder rubber than stock.

Thanks Martin - that's the info I was curious about!

I've decided to get the WEVO type which are supposed to be stiffer than the RS mounts, but still not a metal-to-metal contact to provide good stiffness but not the vibration. We'll see

PLEEEEZZZZZZZZ let me know how you like them as they are on my Winer list of mods. Thanks!
