There are basically 3 optional mounts that will fit: the RS, RSR and 993 Supercup mount. Each is stiffer then the next.
I made a puller tool to do the job which worked well the first time I used it and was almost destroyed the second time it was used by a friend to pull out and pull in his new mount. It takes quite a bit of force to pull out the old mount and pull in the new one. <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Doesn't sound like a DIY to me...
Thanks for the info.

<strong>Aa ha. Do you think this rotating engine actually applies torque to the drive wheels somehow?
</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">It's more that the mounts are a point in the drivetrain where there is slack to take up, so for every throttle on/throttle off the engine mounts get wound up/unwound, hence big driveline shunt. The period of "nothing" when the engine is rotating on the mounts is brought to a sudden end when the mounts have gone as far as they are going to, creating a jolt. Like having a lot of backlash between a pair of gears.

<strong>Martin, Good luck with the M/C bills and your wife. Funny you mention this as I just got home today from the Portland CART race. My lovely wife says "I have got a bone to pick with you".

I quickly changed the subject.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Hey Chris, we need to form a Rennlist Chapter of the UUC(Underground Upgrade Club). That way we can share tips on buying those "necessary" upgrades from Gert and minimizing the after-effects.
Tip # 1: Ship the stuff to your work, not to home.
Others will undoubtedly have ideas to contribute.
