    Gearbox Mounts

    What's available over and above the usual rubber Febi / Meyle / VAG items?

      These recently appeared on ebay:
      http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polyuretha...item27e76decec

      Messaged the seller about them and received this reply:

      "They are made by company in Poland. They are new on the market but good enough to attract koraszewski auto sport ( Google it). "

      So left it at that, would be interested to know more about them though.

              Not too keen on poly having sat in SteveH's with some RS ones in. Density line would be more suited I think...

                People on motorgeek have been using stock Porsche engine mounts as uprated rubber gearbox mounts.

                  I think i'm in need of some new mounts now... Having driven the car for the first time in a while over the weekend the only thing that's letting her down now is the amount of general movement there is from the transmission when pulling away in first. I've not changed of my engine, snub, or gearbox mounts and wondered if it's worth doing the diff mount at the same time? I would like something slightly stiffer than standard so am interested in Porsche engine mount suggestion. I'll have a look on Motorgeek and see if I can find the link. Other than the Porsche ones, what else is available that isn't too track focused? I had ally mounts and poly on my previous car and it was too much for road use so looking for something that's good quality and going to firm things up nicely.

                    I guess they would be these?

                      How does this work then? Any modifications needed or are they a direct fit?

                        I do currently have OEM mounts which I changed last year, would it be worth going poly or solid mounts?

                          I have not ordered a set yet, just read about it.

                          I will let you know.

                          A "google" for 911 engine mounts, and they dont look a million miles away.







                          Rennline do solid billet ones, and there are poly ones as well, but I would have thought that rubber engine mounts would make quite a nice stiff but not silly gearbox/diff mount.

                            Russ, I have a snub here; it's a gret upgrade over stock.

                            We might be able to combine postage for 034 ones from the states.

                              Up for that mate. You'll have to take mine for a drive and see what I mean.
