Default Wevo Semi Solid Engine Mounts

Hey guys, help me out here. I just got off the phone with the manufacturer of the Wevo mounts. I am installing them in my 2010 GT3. The guy told me they do not have the mounts also for the transmission. As he understood it the mounts are probably currently fine on the car, but over time (in like 20,000 track miles or so) they will probably degrade and need replaced.

At this time I am not interested in the Dynamic Engine Mounts.

Any thoughts about what the guy said about the trans mounts?

Ohhhh... forgot to mention this. Wevo does not make a semi solid engine mount at this time.

Editing the above...

They do not make mounts for the trans at this time!!!

he was most likely refering to the fact that if you harden one end the other takes more vibration. As a side not after 20,000 track miles most mounts need replacement

I have the wevo (black) engine mounts - trans mounts are OE stock

Having dealt with other much higher hp/tq cars in the past (but with nothing like near 20,000 track miles) but these cars had 500wtq not 300gt3 tq, all mounts need replaced after that kind of abuse

20,000 track miles sounds like 75 trackdays - at that point they will still be alive but whenever you need to get in there for some other issue may as well do them

Hmmm.... what would the difference between Wevo and RS.1 mounts be? I usually hear of people using Wevo mounts.

What do you mean? Are yours solid mounts?

I have a pair of yellow Wevo semi-solid mounts on my GT3 right now, and they are specific to the 997.

Sorry, I meant 964/993 RS mounts, not 997.1. Here is a thread:

I have the 993 rs mounts on mine purchased from trg but the bolts are too short so my mechanic had to locate longer bolts( dont ask where he got them- probably Kragen's-lol). By the way have a 6gt3. IMO- I don't feel ne discernible difference between stock. Mike
