The motor is attached to the gearbox, so if the motor is all over the place, so is the gearbox. This throws off the geometry of the shift linkages and creates vagueness in the shifting since the relationship between the shifter itself and the selection of gears is not consistent.

Now it is smooth as silk. Well, sporty silk. What I thought was driver error was the motor moving around while I shifted and accelerated. I didn't understand how all the experience drivers commenting in threads could feel the motor that way. NOW I know. What I was feeling was not normal. Now it is such a pleasure to drive and I expect my arm to not get sore anymore.

You definitely did not ask a dumb question. The great thing about Rennlist is that you can ask any question. People won't think it's dumb. It's only dumb if we don't ask something and end up with a disaster because we were too afraid to ask.

LPMM: My mounts looked just like yours, then one day I went to jack up the car from the motor and halfway up in the air, one of them just gave up the ghost and puked out all its hydraulic guts. All this oil just started pouring out to the ground. I was new to 964 ownership at the time, I thought I had broken the friggin' engine case, lol.

Laurent, That's how my mounts looked, too. I decided to replace them with the Wevos but I'm sure the 993s will work fine. The new mounts made a significant difference in the way the car handled.
They were pretty easy to install. Let me know if you need any help.

The WEVO engine mounts are very nice, high-quality pieces - they provide a near-rigid engine mounting system while maintaining a quiet and comfortable ride. Great for street or track!
We carry the WEVO units as well. You can view product information here.

I'm very happy with my Wevo motor mounts. 2 years and no complaints whatsoever.

I am always amazed when I see pristine pictures of members cars or a 964 for sale ad that is really well done....then it's like a scene from a horror movie, original motor mounts ! Uggghhhhhh
These cars are 19-24 years old, your original motor mounts are shot! If not by time, by miles. I have removed motor mounts from 3 964's, all with 50,000 miles, all 3 were in need of replacement.
With the right tools and friend, it's a 20-30 minute job that gives great results and improvement in the car.
Wevo, 993 mounts or RS....replace your old motor mounts !
